What do you mean your school is "doing enterprise"?  Is it some
competition or something?

You're at the right place to ask beginner Python questions.  Feel free
to try stuff and ask questions when you run into problems.  Be sure to
post complete error messages, what you've tried, what happened and
what you expected to happen instead.

As for courses, you may want to look into the following free
educational offerings where you can learn basic programming in a
structured manner:

https://www.edx.org/courses/HarvardX/CS50x/2012/about

Be sure to browse around the sites, most of the sites have multiple
courses available.
