Don't forget to write down how you think the program should function. Then
compare this to the problem you are having. It will help you learn how your
thinking and what the computer does can be combined to create programs. A
quick paper flow chart of what you want to happen is a great reference as
you create the code. Eventually if you really program a lot you will learn
that good programming begins with paper, background and research not at the
keyboard (something I need to remind myself as I rewrite code ...again:( ).

Focus on something simple you want to accomplish. There are many good
tutorials out there for Python. Don't forget you can take one that does
something you like and diagram it as well. You can learn a lot from good
code! I like calculator programs to begin with they are simple to get
started and can become increasingly complex such as adding a graphical user
interface, scientific functions etc.
