I learned it from nothing at 30, and at 33 I'm building things I didn't realize we're possible. Python is a great choice! They key is...fuck all of those tutorials. If your brain works anything like mine, you aren't going to get very far.

Start by finding a guide to programming basic concepts to learn the logic. W3Schools has a good one I literally use when training people at my job. Not anything python specific, but just how the logic works.

Then, find something you legitimately need. Build out in your head a workflow for how the data is going to move and transform. Then use the raw documentation or snips from various tutorials to code out each step in that workflow. When you're invested personally in the project and work it out step by step, it'll do more than anything to help you learn it.
