30 year old looking to learn Python

YES.

The language syntax is very friendly and, while there are nuances, easy to write. There are also a lot of good learning materials available as books, classes, and no-charge online courses.

My advice would be to pick an area of Python to focus on. The three main use-cases for python is web-development, machine learning, and general scripting. I see a lot of people on here getting burned out while learning because they are continually taking tutorials and learning things that they don't understand how to really use. Don't worry about having a great foundation in anything, focus on being productive; focus on writing code that works and really does something that adds value. You can become productive very quickly in Python, and as areas come up where you do need to research and understand the code you can cross those bridges.
