Best recourses to learn Python? I specifically am interested in interacting with APIs and filesystems, I don't know if that matters. Thanks /g/

If it's tour first attempt at programming, try codecademy. Then do exercises on exercism.
The online documentation isn't stellar, but I found it enough to be able to teach myself file operations. A hard lesson of mine you could avoid repeating is to be open minded about libraries early. Look up the task you want to accomplish, read the suggestions on Stack and then immediately look into any libraries they suggest. The sooner you become familiar with them the better.

Google this:
"Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, Practical Programming for Total Beginners (2015).pdf"
'Starting out with Python', the pdf is on google. It's the best imo for a beginner.

Just learn Node.js you can do everything you would do with Python quicker, with a better package manager and non of the...
> Wheel / Egg ?
> 2 / 3 ?
> Resolve linked binaries for my OS ?
> Pipfile / requirements.txt ?
> setuptools / virtualenv ?
...bullshit.
Plus you'll have a learnt a language you can use client-side to boot.
Since this is a python related thread, why are people against LPTHW?

Feel free to tell me the correct way to "Python". Instead posting an overused meme.
