Quote:1. What do I need to download besides Python.
To get started, nothing else is needed, however you probably want to install an IDE (google: 'PYTHON IDE')
Different folks like different IDE's. I prefer VSCode (Tutoral here:
VS Code from start)
You will need to install packages as needed.
You can browse what's available (257,279 projects) here:
www.pypi.org
these can (almost always) be installed (from command line) with
pip install packagename

There are many tutorials available. The two I like best are:
Think like a computer scientist interactive
and
Python 3

Tutorials have ample exercises. In addition, there are lots of project idea sites, including
