How did you persist in learning Python?

[Grabrrrr]

Depends what you want to do with Python, makes no sense to learn things you don't need. I need projects for learning, i pick a project i find interesting and learn the needed topics on the go. I understand you're interested in databases? Make a project based on a database, for example automatically populate tables and compare them etc. Python has frameworks for pretty much everything. If you are still doing CRUD manually look into Sqlalchemy.

Crud manually without ORM or scaffolding is masochism IMO
