I want to learn Python and how to benefit from the great Data Science packages - have some questions.

Hey!

Learn Python The Hard Way is good, apart from that you can take Udacitie's
Intro to Data Analysis:
https://in.udacity.com/course/intro-to-data-analysis--ud170/

This will help you learn numpy and pandas which will be very useful.

Hope that helps!
