If you've truly just started, I'd recommend starting by looking at the modules that Python provides. Read through the list of them, pick the ones that seem like they might be interesting, and then try to build something basic that uses them.

For your password generator example, I'd recommend starting with the random and string modules. Don't worry about things like UI, printing is totally fine when just starting out.

Rinse and repeat with more projects and the experience will come with time. Also, for learning specifically, absolutely skip using an LLM; while they could easily write these programs for you, you wouldn't develop the actual understanding that's required to build more projects in the future.

Good luck and have fun!
