https://www.mooc-list.com/tags/python has a list.

Do you mean Udacity rather than Audacity?

Personally, I would read the reference manual, the library manual (a MUST), write some programs, and read some other people's programs. Python is a simple language.

Reading other people's programs is a good way to apprentice when learning a new language. The Python Cookbook(s) and the 3rd edition of Python in a Nutshell make good reading.

Python comes in two variations these days: Python2 and Python3. Python3 would be the best choice for a new learner.

Check out Real Python (https://realpython.com), if you're looking to learn the syntax and then move into web development.
