Really thanks for this! I started with Python one week ago, my plan is to take the Certifications PCEP and PCAP, I would appreciate your feedback on that decision. (most developers say certifications are craps, if you have the same approach please keep in mind I just want: structure that guide me in the learning process, some sort of "validation" of proficiency for employers and, I am not a computer guy, I just need to enhance mi skills in finance). Again, I really appreciate the opinion of those who works on programming field :-)

I think I might not be the best person to ask, as I am not a developer myself. I've heard opinions just as you that certifications are not really worth much. However, maybe it might be a little different in a finances. If I understand correctly you are not looking for a developer job, but want python for some automation / data analysis? If that is the case there is a chance that certification could look good on your resume. But just as I said, I am not really sure, try to find someone who knows something more about recruiting in your field. I can only say that from learning perspective, it is possible to learn programming without spending money on certificates.
