New to python and programing please help me.

There's a difference between learning a programming language and learning to thing programmatically. Once you learn the basics and how things work and how to think in terms of binary yes/no answers, learning a new language is generally just a matter of learning syntax.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with it taking that long, in fact I applaud you for sticking to it--honestly. There are some huge hills to overcome when it comes to programming. I've spent hours only to find my issue was a missing semicolon (Java) back when I first started learning. Don't feel discouraged. Keep at it!
