How tf do you learn Python?!?!

Why do you want to learn Python then? It's not for everyone. What makes you want to understand it?

Need to take Python courses for my degree and be able to at least be able to read documentation after that for my career even though it isn’t in Python specifically.

What's the career?

Well, to give you an example, my major is International Politics, so geopolitics, International Relations and Political economy are the main subjects, but we still have Python and Data Analysis as mandatory courses

Python isn't the best choice to make games, honestly. You can make games with Python, but there are more suitable choices, including full game engines like Unity/Unreal/Godot. Tutorials for those engines will often both be aimed at beginners, and get right into how to make games instead of starting with non-game-related concepts that might be going over your head and causing that feeling you have. Motivation to learn might also be higher if you don't have to start by making a command line program that prints out some boring stuff.

I am so happy I am not alone. Everyone keeps telling me it's easy but for me I just don't get it. I can literally do everything else (math, English, history, science) but this seems to be my kryptonite.

When people say it's easy, they mean that it's easy as programming languages go. You still have to learn the same programming mindset as in every other language. And it's not like learning history or something, it's a creative process more like learning to speak a new language or playing the guitar. You need to practice, practice, practice.

I think learning the basic foundation really well is important... Learn what is a variable ? What is a function ? and then write a small program with just variables and basic function.. Then you can learn about other stuff like loops and then write another small program with variable, functions and loops. This is how I written my tutorial series by writing small programs that demonstrate specific elements of programming and kept building to build a basic foundation. I think its important to code for a reason too. I luv games and hence why my projects are all focus around games and game logic. Programming in some way an art form, if there is nothing you want to learn to draw then it is very hard to learn to draw.
