🚀 Wow, another "groundbreaking" article unraveling with all the finesse of a toddler with a Rubik's cube. 🤯 Apparently, pretending they don't exist is a valid strategy, until you realize copying from the docs isn't actually . 🙈 Thank you, Captain Obvious, for this revelatory through Python 101!

Unfortunately, I've been programming in Python professionally for 25 years, and personally for 30, which makes me spectacularly out of date on how to learn Python from scratch today.

Back in the day, I frequently recommended people start with the basic tutorial included in the Python official documentation. It was well written and not too difficult for a beginner, even someone new to programming in any language. After that, you could go on to various books (I'm old...); the tutorial got you started, but didn't get you all the way to "design and implement my first useful program".

Others here can probably give better and more recent recommendations for online tutorials, YouTube video series, or even (gasp) books. Adding some tags...
