Trying to learn to code....

Recently I’ve been trying to learn how to script in python. I am a complete noob, and have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve tried Learning Python the Hard Way got to about lesson thirty, and it was just too much. Could anyone suggest an easier course (possibly free) course for learning python?

MIT open courseware comp sci class uses python, but last I checked it is the 2.x series. But it looks like Learning Python the Hard Way is 2.x as well
