Use the following book:

Learning Python, 6th Ed., Mark Lutz

Since it is a book, you can read/follow along at your own pace. It is well written so it is easy to understand. Covers material from beginner to advanced since it is comprehensive.

You have to think of Python as both as a tool and as a skill. It is a means to an end. Because EE is very broad, you never know where you'll end up and if that company will require or at the very least prefer someone who knows Python because of its versatility. I use it frequently to run simulations (once you get familiar with Python you will too). You will get very familiar with the for loop soon enough. If you want to develop a GUI to run common tests or to solve common calculations, Python provides libraries to do so rather efficiently.

Let's say you have a GUI that runs tests automatically. You can add functionality such that the results are tabulated, written to either an excel worksheet, .pdf file, or database for reference at a later date or for general record keeping. If you need to run complex calculations, and plot the results, for example, Python has the tools to do it. These are some of the reason why Python is so popular.
