What's the best way/tutorials for learning python? Have a heavy R background and looking to get into """data science"""

If you don't at least have a master's degree with work experience, you won't get a job as a data scientist anywhere.
Don't read "Learn Python the Hard Way." Zed Shaw is a terrible programmer and an even worse educator.

Just graduated with a master's in econ, but used R for all of my econometric research. Do you have suggestions for what I should read?

I'll rephrase that.
You won't get a job as a data scientist unless you have at least a master's degree in mathematics or computer science, with work experience. Econ is neither of those.
Go "Dive Into Python 3" -> "Python Machine Learning" -> personal projects for a couple years to build a portfolio that companies won't laugh at -> apply and hope you hear something back.

Hey OP, what's the best way/tutorials for learning R?

I also forgot to mention you're going to want to get some experience with TensorFlow. Luckily, it's free, and the tutorials/documentation isn't actually all that bad.
