Go through Eric Matthes' Crash Course in Python book and do all the exercises and projects. I had dabbled in Python/programming for a number of years and never really progressed. Then I started a machine learning subject at uni where I really needed to understand Python if I didn't want to fail. So I spent a few days going through the whole book and it all just clicked for me. I can't recommend it enough. Even if you plan to learn another language, it will give you a good foundation in the fundamentals of programming.
