I used to write simple CRUD websites (using PHP, MySQL, HTML and CSS) and I am now thinking it would be nice to learn Python. The questions in my head are so many that I don't even know where to start:

- what is the best way to go about this strategically

- how to set up the development environment on my laptop? (so far I have watched several tutorials and every single one of them recommended something different)

- should I be coding locally or upload everything online?

- should I start with what I used to in PHP and if so, do I absolutely need to learn a framework while learning Python?

- if I need to be learning a framework, should I go for Django or Flask?

And many other things I am uncertain about.
