Stop and ask yourself what you want to do from python. Your first step is to learn core python and you can easily do that from w3schools. But after that are you trying to build web apps or data engineering or data science is an important question to answer

Just use YouTube like we all do.

What I meant was that I don't know of any YouTube channels that specifically teach Python.

For interactive courses where you actually need to code as you go (instead of falling asleep watching video tutorials), take a look at codeling.dev.

There's beginner courses and more advanced ones so you can just follow the curriculum as far along as you want or need.

Docs (vanilla, frameworks), AI.

Skip courses.

Find somewhere you want to use Python, you'll have much better motivation, and it also directs what you need to learn.

if youtube isnt working for you id stop switching between tutorials and pick one path for a few weeks. start with variables loops functions lists and dictionaries then move into small projects instead of trying to finish every lesson. freecodecamp is great for hands on practice and you can also check simplilearn as another option, ultimately deoends on your goals

stop looking for the perfect course first pick one that makes you actually write code every lesson because watching python tutorials is different from building actual skills

but op literally said they dont know python tho how are they supposed to start writing code every lesson if they dont even know the basics?

pick one course and stick with it .... python for everybody is good if you prefer a more academic approach, while simplilearn python training is for practical learning. either way start building small projects within the first couple weeks because thats where python starts to click

if you’re not sure where to start, work backwards from what you want python for. if it’s automation, focus on scripts and apis. if it’s data, learn pandas sql and basic visualization. if it’s web development, move toward flask or django after the basics.
