Learn Python

When I wanted to learn ASP or ASP.NET I obtained a MS hosting account.
I went to Bluehost to set up an account to learn PHP.

How would I go about this with Python?

2x great resources.

1) Free - YouTube video tutorials.

2) Paid - Udemy courses. I say paid... many of these courses are very cheap...

Ok... so let's say I become an expert via YouTube. Now what? I have a bunch of py files... what do I do with them?
you can install python from python.org or use another installer, such as Anaconda to handle your installations and libraries
aikimark... I don't think that Bluehost or GoDaddy or ETC will let me install anything on their hosting servers.
You said, "I don't think that Bluehost or GoDaddy or ETC will let me install anything on their hosting servers."

You're correct.

To do/learn admin level work, you'll require a real machine with root ssh access.

Check out OVH/SoyYouStart/KimSufi (Different imprints/brands of same company) for this type of hardware.

Primary difference is cost + number of IPs/machine, so lowest cost + IP count is...

OVH - $50/month, 256 IPs/machine max.

SoYouStart - $30/month, 16 IPs/machine max.

KimSufi - $5/month, 1 IP/machine max.

If you're going to be spinning up several money sites over time, use OVH.

If you're just learning + like to also learn LXD (using 1x public IP/container), use SoYouStart.

If you're just learning + require no additional IPs, use KimSufi @ $5/month.
Hi Sheldon!
I have just begun learning python myself, and I have found this to be my fav go-to resource thus far: https://www.fullstackpython.com/
This is useful because there is a mountain on content about Python from intro through devops.  The content is arranged in an outline form, which allows you to focus in on the area(s) that best fit your levels, etc.  There are also dozens of helpful links to additional video tutorials, online tools, and the like--has been very helpful for me thus far.
I hope this information is helpful!
Thanks,

Let me put this a different way.

Let's pretend I walk outside and there is a pile of ASP.NET files laying on the ground.
I would call GoDaddy to host them with a Microsoft account.

If I go outside and there is a pile of .php files, I would call Bluehost to host them.

What if I find a pile of .py files? Who would I call to host them?
