I need learning python for robotic

I'm really desperate, I have a college project where I need to present at least one movement algorithm based on a Cartesian plane. I've already been introduced to Python, but I can't say that's my strong point, I'd like to know recommendations for study materials, or where to start!! Thanks you 😔😔

Get a handle of this book. It is the gold standard in my opinion if you want to learn Python. Its title states it all:

Learning Python, 6th Ed., Mark Lutz

Very comprehensive so its starts with beginner material up to advanced and everything in between.

This was a book my professor recommended at the beginning of classes; unfortunately, it's excessively expensive here in my country, haha. I see that it's available for free in English on the internet, so I'll try to take a look. Thank you so much for your help!!

Ok, just note that the older version will be a bit confusing because it has v2.7 material. So it will kind of be bouncing back and forth between discontinued material and material up to about ~thirteen years ago - when it was published (year 2013) - a lot of the information is outdated. There have been many updates since then. I would strongly recommend the latest edition - published last year - if at all possible.
