I'm also in learning the blockchain basics via Python, since I'm most comfortable with it. Any suggestions?

Hey you're the guy who does the BlockXChain blog! I'm just starting out in blockchain development and found your "Building a Blockchain from Scratch using Python" to be really useful. I'm looking forward to a Part 2!

I found that there were a couple errors in it though, so had to modify it a little. I also added mining and block difficulty into your example. I was going to try implementing networking and being able to run multiple nodes and some basic consensus soon. My modifications: https://github.com/aidanbeale/BasicCoin. Pretty basic, but I am new to this.

I have found several other resources that might help you.

https://github.com/DutchGraa/crackcoin
This coin was written in Python specifically as a project to practice blockchain development. So it's not a fully functioning coin, but looks like a great resource.

As for an actual existing currency, this coin (BISMUTH) is entirely written in Python.

https://github.com/theQRL
Also Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) currently has their testnet written in Python. They're going to be releasing an updated testnet in a week or so (existing one is currently offline but you can go through the code).

If you find any good resources for learning the basics of blockchain development please let me know. Once I get the hang of things building a basic blockchain in Python I was going to try make a beginner video series or something. Help spread the knowledge around. Seems pretty hard to find good resources on it.
