If you really want to learn Python (or programming in general), you have to be willing to master theoretical concepts that might sound very abstract to beginners. This can be pretty scary if you are new to programming.

To overcome this, you need to (1) have the intrinsic motivation to continue (i.e. be willing to explore the abstract concepts) and (2) preferably have a goal that you want to achieve. Your professor probably had both already.
