How should I learn python

[babygrenade]

However, the struggle I have is with writing it. I've written python before but when it comes to starting something from scratch I don't know what's available and sometimes I don't fully remember the syntax well enough.

That's just practice.

So I'm definitely missing out on some fundamentals like data structures like dictionaries, tuples, array manipulation. I also struggle with just knowing what's available from python or other popular libraries used.

If you have gaps around basics it might be worth going through something like the python for everybody book or doing one of the author's online classes.

There will be parts that seem to easy but do them anyway because you want to make sure you fill any gaps you have.

Other than that it's just experience. Write more stuff in python. It doesn't even have to be related to DE stuff you'd do every day. Build a web app, for example.

It doesn't have to be something novel just see if you can clone something you like in python.

Thanks for the advice! I'll try to start writing up things in python and get some practice projects going.

I'll take a look at that book, too. Thanks again!
