This forum may not be the best place to start with Python.
Getting Pyton 3.7 for Windows is easy - go to https://www.python.org/
However, Paintshop Pro uses Python 2.7 for scripting (macros) and there are some important differences between Python versions 2 and 3. For example, in V2, "print " is a statement such as print 'xyz' whist in V3, print is a function as print('xyz').
Python is very powerful and has lots of libraries (modules) available. As an example of what it can do, I recently wanted to download some weather data from a site and save it in my own database. One module ("requests") had all the functionality to get the data off the internet with just a couple of lines of code. Another module (sqlite3) made it very easy to write the values to a database. Obviously a lot more code is needed for validation, error checking and so on but the modules did the 'heavy lifting'. (I dabble in programming though I have more experience in writing SQL database queries etc. - but that was 10 years ago.)
I suggest your favourite search engine may be the best way to proceed. There are lots of free courses available.
Good luck with your investigations.
