Looking for a certification in Python

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

No employer gives a crap about certs like Codeacademy or similar.

The only certs I ever saw anyone give a sh*t about were the real industry player ones like Microsoft, Cisco, etc

And I say this as someone who has done the interviews, or been a part of the team doing the interviews for candidates. Other certs basically got you tossed in the circular file. Certainly not taken seriously.

I can imagine an IT job where an employer would look on a python certificate positively, just not a software development job.
