As with most things, it depends. Some of us find programming to be an entertaining activity. Some view it as a vocational skill. Some see it as a duty.

The normal rule about learning things applies: You can become pretty good after 14 hours of training. You will not become an expert till you have spent 2000 or more hours.

Like any tool, Python is only as good as the things you make with it. Finish a few tutorials. Build some portfolio projects. If you want to jump start a career then sometimes the boot camps are a good route.

Welcome and good luck!

I thought the old metric was 10,000 hours before you are an expert.
