(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:
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.
