I got fired from my job because they don't need so many programmers because of AI writing code ㅎㅎ ...
The only jobs I can find in my city require python skills. Sure I'll buy some python book ... and I want to collect information about python 3 learning resources in this thread. If you know any then add a comment.
These two I found so far:
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/index.htm
https://riptutorial.com/python

And ... I start to get some panic attacks because of my current unemployment. I had the same exact panic attacks when I was quitting playing video games. Figures I must go back on medication and it makes me sleepy ... Hard to study something when I'm sleepy ...

https://docs.python.org/3/

Python.org offers documentation for new users and reference manuals. There is also dotnet core available with Trisquel, which may get you closer to other jobs.

Ocaml is another one I tried to study, but didn't get far. I know they have some books:

At this point I was wondering why I'm even bothering with all of this. But here we go, I've started … You get sleepy, then you get delirious, then you just have to go for it ...

You should talk with your doctor about having possible sleep disorders. I thought my sleepiness was caused by medication too, but it turns out that I have at least one sleep disorder.

Emacs looks for current file's settings [1] on the last page of the file. It is recommended to always have at least 2 pages, and the last page can be blank if you do not have any file's settings for the current file. This way you will not be able to confuse Emacs with your code, which may look like Emacs' file settings.
What is the page in Emacs? A section between form feed symbols, a ^L. To insert form feed press Ctrl-Q Ctrl-L. Press Ctrl-X [ to go to the previous page, Ctrl-X ] to go to next page, Ctrl-X Ctrl-P to select the whole page, Ctrl-X l to count lines on a page. Python permits the use of form feed symbol ^L. [2]
python-mode is so great, I love it.

[1] Emacs' file's settings example ...
;; Local Variables:
;; mode: python
;; fill-column: 68
;; End:
