    How could I learn python for an special software? in this case Maya from Autodesk

      Start by learning Python on this site, then learn how to use the Maya module.
      Once you know the Python fundamentals (functions, modules, classes, objects etc), its much easier to learn the second.
      There are some Maya related Python video tutorials here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXFGeZZbMzQ
