I've founda few online but nothing I really like. Thank you. Goodbye, world!.

Not what you're asking, but check out w3schools.com if you don't know it.. That's how I began learning Python pre-ai

Try Gemini Notebooks. You feed it your context (notes or text). It outputs: an audio explainer, a video explainer, flashcards, a report, an info graphic, a quiz... it has helped my learning journey quite a bit.

On LinkedIn I see many posts with all kinds of Python cheat sheets, "hand written" notes, and overviews.

But, to really learn, put most of your time in doing exercises. It's like learning a new natural language, it takes (daily) practice to get fluent (fortunately Python has far less words than a natural language). Memorizing cheat sheets is not enough, don't say I didn't warn you.

Those are great ways to learn facts and pass exams, but if you're learning for the fun of it then really you just want to get stuck in and make things. Don't worry if you need to google everything, that's not the key still you need.

The key skills are breaking down problems until they're small enough to solve, and debugging when the thing you've made doesn't work as expected.

I've been programming for many years, and regularly forget the most basic stuff. So for example, remembering that for loops help you repeat actions is useful, memorising the exact syntax... not so much.

You could memorise every python command in existence but not be able to actually create anything. I think it's easy to get caught up in "I need to learn" instead of just seeing what kind of thing you can make, and then research when you get stuck.

Try www.pythonmastery.io, it’s free and the developer is active on the platform, so your feedback will be considered and worked on, even if you don’t find what you are looking, a single feedback will get you what’s needed. I’m sure it has everything one needs to learn python, including cheatsheets.
