Fastest way to learn Python for automation?

I’m looking to get into Python specifically for automation tasks. For anyone who’s done this, what resources or learning paths worked best for you? I’d love some advice on how to get up to speed quickly. Thanks!

Do you have past programming experience or is python your first langauge?
If python is not your first language, the official tutorial should be enough to teach you enough python to do most tasks.
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/

If not, I would recommend this book:
https://automatetheboringstuff.com/
It's free to read online. Also covers some common automation tools.

Me

First need to learn python like a programming language. Need to understand how it works, variables, functions, data types, dictionaries, etc . After that you can start learning some librarys for automatization and keep going through. But I have to tell to learn all this stuff require a lot of time to understand it. I probably say more than a year to study and practicing all days.. Or just hire a freelancer to make it for u

+1 for Youtube

Learn core python first from youtube. There are hundreds of playlist. You can first begin with a playlist which is most understandable to you.

Just follow the tutorials, you may not understand some concepts, but don't worry about it. Many concepts will get clear as you further follow the tutorial or later in the practice.

Then you should again start a new playlist for python core, but this time the playlist should be one of the most viewed & latest(Or you can rewatch the first playlist if it satisfies these requirements).

Then you can watch some latest automation tutorial & practice them.

A month is enough for one to reach intermediate skills.
