Open a terminal window, or an IDE, and start typing code.

That's it. There's no magic. You can read all the books you like, but 
eventually you need to type code. And then you are doing Python.

You say you have "read" the tutorials. But have you *done* the tutorials, 
actually typing code at a prompt and looking at the result?

If not, then do so. Reading is great, but there is absolutely no substitute 
for *doing*.
