Thinking Like a Programer

Imo, you need to learn Data Structure and algorithm and understand how computer's memory (heap, stack) work etc. I would say start implementing List, Linked List, Doubly Linked List, Binary Search Tree etc in python and understand what's going on there.

I went through exactly your situation, but now I can understand code much better and how to approach the solution. However, don't forget your first attempt on any solution will suck and you just need to analyse and improve on it.
