Learning python is easier than other languages for many reasons. One of the reasons is the tremendous amount of great, free resources to learn from. So here are some resources I found heplful.

• Automate the Boring Stuff with Python - Shows how to write useful programs to do all sorts of things with python.
• Composing Programs - A python oriented take on the legendary SICP book/course.
• Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist - Get immersed in the details.
• Learn Python - Fastest introduction to python if you have programmed in other languages.

Videos

• Corey Schafer’s Beginning Python Programming Playlist - Python centric channel that has lots of quality content from basics to advanced concepts.
• Derek Banas’s Learn Python in One Video - Efficient and to the point.

I also learned quite a bit about Python and REST API development through this amazing Udemy course. Highly recommend you grab it on one of the periodic sales.
