You can become very skilled with Python for free. There are countless, easy to find, great free resources online.
Sure if you are keen on following an online course, a sale on Udemy is a good choice as @volcano63 suggested.
Also there is a good free Python course on EdX. Maybe more than one, but I remember a particularly good MIT one.
About a decade ago I used much-criticised Dive Into Python - and it helped me a lot (I do not know how good is the newer versions). There are a lot of resources online - but I have occasionally stumbled upon pretty shitty stuff when looking for them.
Nothing wrong with courses - the problem is to find something for more advanced users
Test everything in a Python shell (iPython, Azure Notebook, etc.)
- Someone gave you an advice you liked? Test it - maybe the advice was actually bad.
- Someone gave you an advice you think is bad? Test it before arguing - maybe it was good.
- You posted a claim that something you did not test works? Be prepared to eat your hat.
