Dear Python friends:
Thank you for the rapid response, I researched the information you sent me
and it has a lot of resources that I can use. I will use some of those
resources and continue with my learning journey, I am sure that I will have
a lot of questions but I feel confident that I have your support.
Best regards
Walter Luna

greetings walter, and welcome to the Python family!
snip
as far as books go, the best way to learn Python is by writing games.
this is an approach that works both with children as well as adults.
there are several excellent books that can help you with this regard:
There is another book that I didn't notice mentioned: Game Programming:
The L line, the express
line to learning.
The book is unfortunately named because it makes no mention of Python, but
it's
quite a good book for learning both programming and Python... and games!
Good luck and welcome to Python!

Another resourse for learning to program is YouTube. They just had a
segment on 60 Minutes about a guy who does all kinds of well
regarded free courses on-line, unfortunately I can't remberber the
URL. I've viewed several Stanford University programming courses, and
there are many Python specific vidoes there as well. Just something
else to check out.

Are you possibly thinking of the Khan Academy [1] ?
