We would recommend you go through the entire solve and learn series, starting with variables and all the way through to File Handling and Classes (advanced), but to get you started, why not attempt these initial challenges so you can get your head around what python is, how it works, and some simple examples to get you excited!
If you want your very own Python (version 3) at home, it's free, and it can be downloaded here:
In this quick start guide to Python, you will gain an overview of how python works, and look at the following: declaring variables, using functions, obtaining user input, working with strings and integers, selection (if statements) and some of the basics such as syntax errors, indentation and how to structure a program.
To use python in your browser, you can code on www.repl.it or www.trinket.io
Play around with the code below (you can either do it here or on repl.it or in your own version of Python if you've downloaded it).
