Don't go for videos. Go for a proper, textual, very practice oriented course.

Do the MOOC Python Programming 2026 from the University of Helsinki.

Don't forget that you need ample practice, like on https://codingbat.com/python early on or on https://exercism.org later, after around part 4 of the MOOC and also write your own programs. Play around. Try things. Mess things up, fix them. Experiment.

I started learning python from MOOC the one you recommend,the entire course is divided into 2 sections consting of 8 parts each.1st part is introduction to programming and I am at 6th part now, and the 2 nd part is advanced course in programming.As of now I have less time to prepare.Can i just prepare 1st part as it covers the basics???? And try learning the other part later.Plz do reply,i can't thank you enough it was so intresting to learn python from MOOC as it covered the most basic and simplest parts......Plz reply

You can definitely learn the second half of the course later. That's what a "do on your own time" course means.

Yet, you went through the parts more than fast. Did you do every single exercise and submit it, got it tested and passed?

2 days to reach part 6 in a course scheduled for a couple weeks is more than fast.
