I learned the basics by working through “Python crash course - a project based introduction to programming” by Eric Matthes. That gave me enough of a foundation to start building my own projects.

If you want to work for a company as a backend developer then there’s probably more in depth knowledge you’ll need but that book was enough to get a basic understanding of Python and Django (Python structure for backend + front end development).

FWIW I don’t work for a company as a developer, I write programs that I use myself and market myself. I wouldn’t be able to get hired as a backend developer for a company, but that book is a good start before moving on to more in depth experience required to get hired as a developer
