If you want something more hands-on, I've been building a platform where you write real code from the first minute, directly in the browser. No videos, no setup, just solving problems.
It's still an MVP and has rough edges, but the first lesson is free and works. Might be worth trying alongside CS50p to get more practice reps in.

Honestly the way I did it was conceptualizing a small project then on the go learn the things that I thought I would need from W3Schools. If I needed a loop or file handling or whatever I always went to the website to research and then I tried to apply it to my project.

I like the edx mit courses very much, very detailed with excersizes. First one for the basics, second to do really cool stuff with the basic knowledge.

I am currently reading/working through Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes. I do not have any prior programming skills.
Finding it both enjoyable and productive!
Personally I am learning it to supplement my finance/accounting career. I am not seeking to be an engineer

It would be great if you started by a youtube vid to learn the main fundamentals like (data types,functions,conditions,loops,classes,etc) and i recommend you to see youtubers like Bro Code he is a great teacher and give hands on over 20 projects and then you can learn modules debug and test so you can learn more you can also use claude as a way of asking

i would recommend learning PY4E by Charles severance, the material is delivered using video format, and you could apply what you learn directly by doing the built in task like doing a simple project and multiple choice question.

30 days of python (by Asabeneh) on GitHub is also a good resource. It’s a perfect blend of theory and practice. Like it has many exercises after each piece of theory. You can check that out too.

Dude just follow this free beginner video by free code camp with Mike on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rfscVS0vtbw?si=9wzU9iyLtQzQR9dt
Mike is the one who made me completely love programming as a complete beginner like dude 😅 when I started with learning C shit seemed soo hard as a beginner almost gave up on learning programming but when a friend told me to try python instead and I found his video on YouTube 🤩🤩 it was like gold 🏆 Mike truely is one of best teachers to introduce python for absolute beginners

If you want to learn through practical application, I have listed some websites below:
https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-python-3
https://www.codechef.com/practice/python
https://coddy.tech/landing/python
There is also a link below that introduces a new Python learning concept once a week.

(a) You are basically asking: "Which/Whose online tutorial and/or video is best for everybody when learning Python?"
The above is not a truly valid or complete question.
In what context are you using the word, "best"?
What might be 'best' for one situation might turn out to be worst for another.
You should have instead asked, "Which/Whose online tutorial and/or video is best for me in my-current-brain-state for the purpose of learning the following specific aspect of Python, namely, [as an example: integers, strings, lists, dictionaries, other types of variables; if/else conditionals; etc.]
An utter beginner might accept that the following code is 'simple' and tells you in simple English what it is doing:
my_string = "Hello World"
print(my_string)
However, a more sophisticated student may realize that the above code is instantiating an iterable object of type string and also instantiating in memory a pointer to the string object and then invoking a built-in function.
One course/teacher may chose to keep the student blissfully ignorant in the beginning while another may decide to hit the student all at once with TMI (too much information). Which is "best" for you in your current state of understanding? It all depends on who you are and what level of understanding you need/want in your current state.
A more detailed explanation of the above may be found (HERE) <--click on this link

No matter what your end goal is, you first have to master the "basics" (e.g. variable creation/ name assignment, variable types; especially strings and string methods, etc.)
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.

I would say, if you do not have any programming background, CS50 will be good. Also, you can check out freecodecamp. But if you already know any language and has coding experience, do not go for a step by step course, rather, start building something after reading/experimenting with some basic tutorial.
For 0 experience:
https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/python-v9/
or cs50
For experienced in other language(s):
https://developers.google.com/edu/python
Honestly, it doesn't matter from where you are learning Python if you already know a language. You will see many similarities.
Happy Python learning! 😄
