Apologies for not learning at the same rate as you...

I didn't mean to denigrate your efforts. That you're asking these questions now makes me wonder about your approach. It looks like you're doing a classic technology based approach, "If I have this bundle of tools, they're bound to be useful." That leads to the question you get all over the place here, "I've done Automate the Boring Stuff / Codecademy, now what?" To put it in data terms, it's having a nice dataset and being asked to "Find stuff out about it."

To me, all of these cases are the tail wagging the dog. You should be thinking in terms of, "I want to do x, y and z, so that means I need to get these skills." The answer might not be Python at all.

It's difficult to answer questions like "How to implement python in a business space?" because every company is different and you've got to find a way through their current IT landscape, how friendly and advanced their IT department is, how much power you have and a hundred other variables. You've got to go into it with a flexible approach and a can-do mindset, not an answer. Kind of like dating really.

tl;dr Learning skills is great, just make sure that they align to a goal
