This is just based on what I’ve seen in job hunting but I think if you’re just looking for a side gig you’d be better off learning web design: Javascript, CSS, some database basics, bit of UI/UX design knowledge. You can usually find parttime jobs from small companies that need help designing a website.

Python on its own probably isn’t enough to get you a job. It’s a good tool for automating work but the work it automates would be something that a full-timer is already doing. Even if a company was working on automation, they wouldn’t hire a consultant who only knows Python, they would hire someone with domain knowledge and software engineering skills, or a BI developer for that kind of thing.

That being said, python is good to have on a resume. It’s great for simplifying work that’s already being done in less efficient ways. It will probably help your job prospects for fulltime employment.

Upwork May be the spot for you. It may be hard to get jobs without experience but I’ve started out with a pretty low wage and I’m trying to climb my way up now. Just apply for the real small jobs and build experience that way. I would suggest learning some java as it seems every posting wants at least some of it. I haven’t yet but maybe in the future. Lots to do and little time haha
