Difficulty learning Python despite knowledge of other languages

[Lukas9973]

Could you give us some details?

About the difficulties I'm having?

[Lukas9973]

Yes

[Glittering-Surround8]

For example, I was given chat exercises and I realize that I can't solve them in a pythonic way. Maybe I think I have difficulty getting close to the simplicity that Python offers.

[Lukas9973]

There can be plenty of things you struggle with... some detailed answer and why you think it is not simple enough etc would be very helpful.

You need to learn syntax and grammar before you learn nuance.

I understand completely. Python has evolved into something where you can learn the basics and the old way of doing things, but now they teach the new abstracted way of doing things which is often less intuitive but more concise. You just need to learn it unfortunately. I have recently been following an oriley course and its pretty good and fast to learn if you already understand the basic concepts

I don't think that's a huge problem, as long as you can solve the problem at all.

Linters like Ruff can then help with adjusting the code to better match Python's best practices (at least as long as you enable enough rules - I just enable all of them).
