Not asking to be rude here, but how old are you? If you aren't 13 and already picking up Python, you probably aren't actually interested in programming. It's a "self starting" hobby. So, if you haven't started yet, it's probably not for you.
So, whenever someone asks how to start programming, that's a red flag.
But, if you want to try it. Take up the equivalent of Python 101 at your local community college. This will give you some structure in learning and you'll have people to ask questions and the social network you can build from meeting people in real life is valuable, you'll probably land a job from someone you meet. That will probably be $600, but it's worth it if you know how to milk what you get.
Check out codecademy, and start doing your own projects after that, and googling anything you run into. It's largely a self-taught skill with lots of resources out there to facilitate that.
Javascript is easy to learn since it runs in a browser. Its also structured like several other languages, so learning the concepts will help you code other languages as well.

Data, machine learning, etc. I would suggest python installed with miniconda.
Use vscode for your environment except when using jupyter.
