The most efficient way to learn Python would start by identifying what you want to do with Python and structure your learning around that. For instance are you using Python for machine learning, web automation, data analysis, data visualization, etc. There’s so much that you could learn about Python. Narrowing your focus will be a great help. Also if you share what you want to do with Python you may get better suggestion on next steps for learning Python.

If you want to learn the basics of Python, I’d recommend doing Cisco Networking Academy’s free Python 1 and 2 courses https://www.netacad.com/courses/python-essentials-1

Since you already have software engineering experience you may want to skip the basics, start coding a project, and learn as you go.

I started learning Python with past experience working with C++ and Java. I knew that I wanted to use Python for web automation so I skipped the basics, did a bit of googling to find out which Python libraries were options for web automation, picked one, and started coding :)
