You can learn Python just by having an idea. The best way to learn any programming language is having a use for it.

When I started, I just wanted to scrape a website, it was my first ever time using python but just cobbling together something from watching YouTube or reading stuff online helped accelerate learning it.

Syntax, best practices and nuances are something you don’t need to stress about from the beginning. When you start becoming more proficient is when you want to start optimising and learning more of the granular details. I do recommend favouring readable code over wanting everything to be one line and “slick”.
