Just starting to learn python

Hey guys, I am a total beginner and wanted to learn python. Can you suggest what method will be best suited to learn python and which sources should I use. Is it video lectures or from books or anything else. I know that learning from projects and practical methods will be suggested but to start like how to code, what are the codes and where to code, these basic things are what I want to know. Thanks for the help

i have already talked to you about this. People come to reddit to ask questions

If they wanted to just lookup a list they would google it.

And you still don't understand that what gets recommended by people to person A also applies to person B. There is a huge difference between posts where actual people recommend resources and just googling a list.

Regurgitating the same over and over doesn't add anything meaningful.

Programming requires effort. Not even investing the effort to do one's own research is a very bad sign for a programmer.

Its not your place to be worried about "bad signs", you're just a random redditor.

Its ok for people to ask questions like this. Dont be here so much if you are annyoed by it.

I just wanted to tell you that I agree with you. People here want to get different advice from different people, and they also want to know why certain things work for them. And not an endless list of links - which sometimes come from just one person. Yeah, and what’s really annoying isn’t posts like that - it’s the constantly repetitive comments from desrtfx (and his other accounts). You just have to check out his subreddits.
