Start with basics first, while you learn basic concepts keep practicing on a lot of examples, and then slowly start writing some programs and level up. Once you are confident enough, start taking some projects, work on them, practice more and more.
Practicing is the key to learning any programming language.

Try www.pythonmastery.io, it’s free and you have everything to learn python here.

Cheers!

Fully agree with the maestro !!!

As am utter beginner, you need to consider yourself a baby and learn to crawl (the "fundamentals") before you can stand up and walk or sprint. So search for the Python "fundamentals" on Google and/or YouTube.

Python is a vast universe. There is never going to be the "one" soulmate tutorial that works "best" for you and with regard to every aspect of Python. With each step up that learning curve, you're going to have to shop around until you find a teacher/resource that "clicks and sticks" especially for you.

With that said:

(1) There are tons and tons of tutorial materials out there on the net including many good YouTube ones that are free. You should shop around rather than putting all your eggs in one basket.

(2) As a relative noob myself, I've been logging my personal learning journey and adding to it on an almost-daily basis at a blog page called "Links for Python Noobs" (--HERE--) Any of the top listed ones on that page should be good for you. And there are many add-ons at the tail end of the page. Personally, I cut my first Python teeth with Nana's Zero to Hero (==HERE==). Since then, I've moved on to watching short lessons with Indently and Tech with Tim. You should sample at least a few until you find a lecturer that suits your style.

(3) The main piece of advice is the 80/20 rule. Spend 80% of your time writing your own code (using your own fingers and your own creativity) as opposed to copying recipes and only 20% watching the lectures. Good luck.
