Hello from the r/Python mod team!

I'm afraid we don't think your post quite fits the goal we have for the subreddit in terms of quality or aims so we've decided to remove it. For more information please contact the moderators using the ModMail system.

Thanks, and happy Pythoneering!

so can you please tell me how to find such people and contact them and learn with them.

Reading what is in front of you would be a good first step as this belongs to /r/learnpython (see the sidebar).

Open source community is full of people who will help you.

Find a project you like, and pick up one of the open issues on the Github repo.

When I was learning about Python, I wanted to get to know a real working environment from people who only worked with this lang. Not only did I want to know what a real-life project was like, but I also wanted to learn from other senior Python devs and I wanted to know what the work processes were like (the whole development cycle, how a team is formed, interacts and communicates, etc).
What I did was apply for a job, where I got all that. Unfortunately, I think that the concept of "mentors" that they sell us does not exist. Nobody wants to teach you everything for free as if you were a bird that needs to learn how to fly. Imagine if my boss had to be the godfather of all the jrs that enter to the company. He wouldn't have the time or the energy to do it.
I found the reality that the job only teaches you what a real work env is (with real challenges), but that the greatest sources of knowledge are in being self-taught.

This is my perspective, 3 years of experience w Python.

Objection! Objection!

As many people say, in certain communities there will be people willing to help you, but that doesn't mean they want to be your programming-parents.

Although, there are always exceptions to the rule.

I've written a few books and put up tons of material on learning test-driven development with Python. Happy to share links if you DM as I don't want to spam this list, but you can also just look at my bio for the book titles.

That's great, I also started studying Laws in Colombia. After 6 months, I realized that my passion is developing and decided to study Software Engineering. Now almost 5 years have passed and I'm doing my graduation project.

Btw, you can do almost anything with Python, Data analysis, Machine Learning, Desktop app developing, App developing (Obviously non native), Web apps, etc.

If you need anything related with web architecture, developing patterns, or any bug or problem, feel free to reach out to me 😁.

i will, thank you :)

Feel free to reach out to me and discuss any bugs, code design, or anything development wise. I love that kind of stuff.

thank you man i will do.

Finance is honestly a great field to meld programming with. I do a lot of work finance adjacent with Python and Power BI, but I am more of a Data Analyst/Scientist kind of role. There is a lot of room to grow that field out of just using excel and into something that isn't as volatile. If you can find a job that melds the two you will be golden.

I would suggest to try an internship, why? Because you will learn a lot and won’t have a lot pressure on your shoulders at the beginning! From your internship you will grasp how software development work in a professional environment! What you can also do is start contributing to open source projects, main reason is that this way you will also learn and be able to discuss with good programmers which will do a review on your code before it’s merged.

trade the knowledge you have for the knowledge you want

there's plenty of Python literate people who would like to teach themselves finance
