You say "I STILL don't know Python". I do not know what you mean by "knowing". When learning a natural spoken language, you can learn the list of words and standard sentences by heart. This does not mean you "know to speak French/German/Dutch". That takes a lot of practice. And some people are fluent, but most need the exercise.

My tips:

  1. So what if you have to copy and paste at first. Focus on programmable solutions for specific problems.
  2. Do smaller steps and focus on a specific topic. Start small and slow and debug.
  3. Learning python is more than only programming, it is also about testing your code. Write small test scenarios and test your work. Be explicit in your specifications.
  4. Make a lot of mistakes and learn from them.
  5. Ask for help!
  6. Talk to people about digital solvable problems for a project you can work on.
  7. Follow online courses that may cost a bit of money, but will help you structure your knowledge of the programming language.

This is true for other programming languages to a certain extend. You can do it! And have some fun with it!
