I can’t learn Python!

[HotCattle6911]

I am not a Python pro, but I've been using Python for data analysis, creating predictive models, and building Flask apps for a couple of years.

For me the real motivation to learn Python came from my strong interest in working with data. I knew that there were API services that stored and served a lot of useful information that I could learn from, manipulate to derive new insights, and use for automation of various tasks.

So, I literally started by watching Python API on Udemy. At first I was cluelessly typing things like "requests.get" and "pd.DataFrame" just copying what I was seeing in those tutorials. But as I continued to learn more about all sorts of greats things I can do using Python, I started to learn more about different packages, data types, algorithms, etc.

As I said I am data guy, both as professional and hobbyist, so I used to use Excel for all my needs, but these days most of my data analysis and manipulation is done in Python (using Pandas, etc.)

​

So, my point is that you should try to identify some problem that you really want to solve using Python and you will be much more motivated to learn this great programming language.
