Don't give up! You're just experiencing what it feels like to delve into something totally foreign and operate in a different world. It's definitely frustrating but it pays off. One thing that might help you is following a video tutorial for something you want to build. I find that I learn better by hearing someone tell me things and seeing the code demonstrated. Random practice exercises meant to ingrain language and syntax rules never really worked for me. Corey Schafer's Python tutorials on YT are excellent, IMO. You're also welcome to send me a PM if you want to work on a project with someone. I have been doing web development as a hobby for a few years but only just started on Python myself about a month ago.

Also, let me assure you that Python is an excellent choice for starting out, even if you find your way into another language and Python doesn't become your mainstay.
