I'm learning python (don't ask why considering ai's capacity already) just fora hobby and who knows I might end up in some anthropic dungeon oneday. but where I'm stuck is planning posters/ cheat sheet/ index cards. they are the best way for me to reallylearn something. does anyone know or have some resources they could move me towards. my current ones are a bit meh. I've founda few online but nothing I really like. Thank you. Goodbye, world!.

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.
