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

2. working by myself is there a book or web site that I can go to and get help.

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

3. I learn by building a program and adding code to it. Here again where can I go th get help.

Tutorials have ample exercises. In addition, there are lots of project idea sites, including
one on this forum here
