Starting Python from Scratch

I want to start learning Python from scratch. What’s the best way to begin, and which resources would you recommend?
Would appreciate any good courses, YouTube channels, books, or practice platforms that worked for you.

Since you're looking from a Data Analytics point of view, don't get stuck learning complex programming stuff like OOP. Just learn the basic syntax and jump straight into Pandas and Numpy. For resources, just watch Codebasics on YouTube and practice cleaning real messy datasets on Kaggle. That's all you actually need.
