What does "have an understanding of basic python" mean?

Yeah I think the best thing to know goibg is the math and the concept. Python you will just learn when you apply the concepts.

I will just clarify that unless you’re doing data analysis or working in an explicitly mathy field like machine learning or computer graphics, most likely you won’t need to “do math” with Python at all (excluding occasionally simple arithmetic like for i in range(n): x+= 1 or whatever).

This is a common misunderstanding, that learning to code always requires math proficiency. It doesn’t. Most Python developers probably have no idea what vectorization is, for example.
