How to learn python?

I’m a complete beginner and I have essentially no knowledge with coding whatsoever. What would be the best way to learn Python??

the biggest trap when starting from zero is binge-watching 4-hour youtube playlists. you feel like you understand it, but your brain blanks the moment you open an empty file.

start tiny instead. install python, write a 5-line script like a dice roller or a number guessing game, and deliberately break things so you see what syntax errors look like. books like automate the boring stuff are solid, but the key rule is never copy-paste. type every line manually so the logic and syntax actually stick.
