There are two parts here (1) using overpass itself (2) writing python script That are separate (you can call Overpass API from any program, not just python) "I have just started to use Python" - note that it means learning two separate languages at once: (1) Python itself (2) Overpass query syntax PS In case that Overpass is new for you my page may be of some use: https://mapsaregreat.com/geographic-data-mining-and-visualisation-for-beginners/overpass-turbo-tutorial.html
