I only truly felt like I learnt after I wrote my first program, and used it as a reference. I had dabbled with C programming before this when I was younger. It's hard to gauge what you know, but i'm assuming you know absolutely nothing about programming. Maybe look up youtube videos on:
- boolean logic
- what is a variable?
- what types does python have?
- - data types (int, float, char, bool)
- - array types (list, dictionary) [less important] (tuple)
- - string type (resembles a list)
- if conditionals
- - [less important] when conditional
- loop conditionals
- - foreach conditional
- - while conditional
You could look up each of these ideas on youtube, and get a better understanding of programming. Probably tons that use python as a baseline for understanding.
Others will note that I left out a lot of things, like functions, etc. For someone starting out, just writing scripts without functions is a good starting point imo. You'll learn more about python's module system when you start coding and following examples.
Hope this helps.
