The following resources are good for learning Python:

Python website (doesn’t look very flashy, but has so much information)
Udemy has a couple of free courses:
- this one is a good all rounder, with some emphasis on theory
- this one is good for absolute beginners
- this one for people who want to dive right into a project
Sololearn also has one.
Software Carpentry has two Python workshops, you may also watch a Software Carpentry Python recording (3 hours) or this full Software Carpentry workshop recording (4 x 3 hours) covering Shell, Python and Git.
Look at the University Computer Science Society who host workshops and events which may be open to all students.
To learn Python before learning text analysis, see ACRL DSS: Introduction to Jupyter and Python Basics for librarians and digital humanists (4 x 1¼ hours) videos.
