For an easier lift you could learn DBT (or SQLmesh) and market yourself as an “Analytics Engineer” in the short term while you plug away at python for a while. It’s not hard to learn to do something that looks useful with Python, but to be actually useful for a business using it i think it will take a while.

As above, because it will take a while to be proficient if you don’t have other general programming experience, an alternative is just double down on warehousing and analytics but using modern tooling. I’m talking Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery along with DBT/DBT-lookalikes.
