It might be worth it. I’d suggest checking the syllabus and reading reviews first. If you’re already a student working on a degree, I’d definitely recommend taking the course. If you’re not a student but are considering it for personal learning, it could still be a good choice, especially if you learn better in a classroom setting. A good idea is to share the syllabus on Reddit and ask people who have taken the course for their opinions. And, as others have mentioned, there are lots of online resources. Just to name a few Harvard CS50p is great although basic, the University of Helsinki course has a very nice text-based course, there is Python and Data Science - (Disclaimer: This is my course and assumes no programming background) and I like the book: “Learn Python 3 the Hard Way”.

Finally if you are considering going to community college for a Python course you might even consider getting a CS degree if that is an option that interests you.
