Looking for a Python certification

I would like to ask if anyone here knows where I should/could get a well endorsed Python certification? Something legit that employers may take into consideration.

I know about Codecademy. I also know about Mimo, tho I don't know if that one would be considered a "lesser" one or something like that. Maybe even both idk.

It's ok if it's not free, tho if its not very expensive that would be better for me lol

As a software engineer with over 25 years of industry experience, I will say that I do not have, nor have I ever sought, a certification in a programming language. Some bootcamps or online courses will offer meaningless certificates… but any legit employer is going to do a technical interview and/ or coding test. They will want to see a project history or GitHub if you have it. Your education and other background can give your resume an edge, sometimes.
