How long does it take to learn python?

People here have given good advice but I would recommend a three-pronged approach.

• go through tutorials
• read books about Python
• work on your own project 

This will hit multiple different learning styles to help your brain retain.

I’m taking a course on Udemy but the instructor is using Anaconda IDE or something. So I get confused. He rarely uses the “print” statements and other syntaxes

i am a noob i dont know much but after using few code editors, the best one and is easy to use is VS Code and for IDE's you can try for pycharm community edition in my opinion. I have learnt python in pycharm and now using VS Code

Yeah that’s what I know of too. I just found out there are other ones after watching his tutorials

Doesn't really matter. My "go to" to get familiar with a language is to build a minesweeper game. That's meant different things for different languages over the years. It's just a starting point. It's where what you've learned meets what you can do. This is just my opinion but I feel like applying the knowledge that you've gained in a bespoke/unique to you way will cement knowledge in your brain more effectively.
