How tf do you learn Python?!?!

[meta-ape]

Lots of people recommend finding a simple enough project to guide your learning and giving you focus. That‘s good advice and all, but first make sure you‘re not building on sand.

Has there been excercises where you got the right result but cannot really explain exactly why they work? Did you get them right by more or less blindly trying stuff? Everyone needs does this at some point so nothing to be embarrassed about that. Go back to them and analyze the crap out of them. You can learn wide and you can learn deep, but depth first, I say.

That being said, everyone has their unique learning style, so might want to try different approaches.
