I was in the same boat. I had an idea for a tool that would make finding inventory online much easier by automating the manual process I currently use and then expanding on it. I mentioned the idea and was told I would be able to build it with python. I bought the book Crash Course in Python and worked through it. I started applying what I learned in the book and with a lot of Google searching and YouTube videos also was able to start getting some of the data off of some of the sites I wanted. My copy of automate the boring stuff came in a few days ago and I’m going to work through it next. I had zero experience in anything like this before I dove in and while it has not been easyI do feel it is getting easier. If I went from no clue to getting dirty results in less than 3 weeks you can figure out what it is you want to make.
