Think Python is a top quality book for learning. The latest version of Think Python by Allen B. Downey is available for free online in the form of interactive Jupyter notebooks hosted on Google Colab meaning you don't need to set up, install, or configure anything up front to start learning to program using python. I think it's 100% the best way for complete beginners to start.
While you're working through Think Python, you can get real time feedback and answers here in !python@programming.dev (https://programming.dev/c/python) or:
Matrix python room
Discord Python server
PySlackers Slack Python channel
They are all quite active and helpful to new learners.
When you are ready to install and run Python locally on your hardware you can refer to the Official Python Documentation. There is a section dedicated to installing and using Python
