I would advise against Google's python course, as it is geared toward python devs working at Google. The course teaches Python 2, and goes against widely accepted guidelines such as PEP-8. I highly recommend David Beazley's Python Cookbook (https://www.dabeaz.com/cookbook.html) for the most idiomatic and comprehensive introduction to Python.

Hmm, I did this a while back. I realise that I should have suggested a Python 3 resource.

I wouldn't say that the course is geared towards devs at Python. From what I remember it's pure Python and there's nothing "Google" about it.
