I've been doing the Python Basics course on Coursera. It is free to audit the course so if you don't finish it then it didn't cost you anything. It teaches the basics of python through video and reading as well as some (non-complex) exercises. I personally find it to be a great starting point.

It’s not free but here is the link. I should have stated that prior to posting:

My latest attempt was this python class: https://www.coursera.org/learn/python-basics/home/welcome
Which uses a really interesting textbook: https://fopp.umsi.education/runestone/static/fopp/index.html
But I'm barely started, and running out of steam. Those are still the most useful resources I've found, though.

Sorry to hear that. I know that the official list of alternative materials are:
- MIT's Introduction to Python Course: https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-7
- University of Michigan's Python Basics Course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/python-basics
- Harvard's CS50 Course: https://www.edx.org/course/cs50s-introduction-to-computer-science

A few good coursera/edx courses to prep for fit1045 are:
- hhttps://www.coursera.org/learn/python
- https://www.coursera.org/learn/python-data
- https://www.coursera.org/learn/python-basics
If you go thru all these 3 you're in good standing for fit1045 for coding. Maybe also try to self learn some algorithms as well as that seems to be a tough part of the course
