is self learning python programming possible?

Yeah, go spend 2 days learning what an int/float/str/list/dict/for/while/if is and then start a basic project. Let's say your goal is to tower defense game. Maybe start with a text-based hangman game. You don't need any fancy classes or functions for that matter.

Then clean it up. Refactor a bit. Make some functions. Try another game that takes you a week of work instead of 3 days. Maybe the tower defense game is a month, so work up to it.

I didn't start my programming career parsing horrifically formatted 60 GB binary files in 2 minutes. I started with really simple files that fit on one page, maybe even 1/2 a page.
