Cybrary is offering a free Python for security course.
How is python implemented into cybersecurity?
Python for Cybersecurity
I studied one computer security module in my uni, and I used python to create cryptographic algorithms. It was definitely an insightful experience and I learned how to code in python along the way. If you are familiar with asymmetric keys, you can look into building the elgamal crypto algorithm, with diffie hellman key exchange protocol using large prime numbers. For symmetric algorithms, different caesar cipher algorithms such as hill cipher or affine cipher can be done as well.

Do you already know Python? If not, I recommend doing Harvard's free CS50P course. And get No Starch book Python Crash course. Neither of these are related to security, but Wil teach you Python basics very well. Then follow it up with Grayhat Python and Blackhat Python books.
Do you already know Linux? If not, go through Linux journey website. Check out Linux for hackers book by no starch. To learn about Linux security and admin you could check out Unix and Linux System Admin handbook.
