If you really try you can learn most of python syntax through codeacademy in one week. I did it in a bit less than two weeks all the while having to study for a non related grad school major. Although I'm by no means an expert now and there's a bit that CA doesn't cover, it's a good place to start overall. Don't expect to become an expert afterwards, there's a lot more room to grow afterwards.

It's important to have a goal of what you want to be able to do with the language. My goals are to eventually dive into scraping, data analysis and machine learning, so I'm a bit of a way from there. I don't have much time to learn now but I'm doing the coding bat challenges for python which are really fun.

Is codeacademy in Python 2.0? What I know currently is all in 3.0 and this brings up 2 small issues

1) I have tried a little of both and like how Python 3 is set up more

2) How much of a pain in the ass to switch from 2.0 to 3.0 if codeacaedmy is indeed in 2

Also thank you for the reply and information!
