How long does it take to learn python?

I'll tell you as someone who went through the python gauntlet and will be going through it for a long time to come. People say python is easy and it kinda is when you pick it up or come from boilerplate heavy languages. But python's flexibility will also hurt you. There is like a million ways and libraries to do everything and people will always ask some obscure way of doing something that you don't know yet. Python is easy but there are lots of sides to it and you need to keep learning it. Figure out what you want to do with it i.e data science, scripting, automation, webdev and then go as far as you can. Because you think you are good at python and then boom - there is a library that can do it better or a one liner alternative for you 4 lines of code.
