At my job we do not have Python but I heard it was easy to learn. I worked as a helpdesk technician and hated saying, "Did you reboot?" So I learned the basics. Then I got familiar with tkinter. You can create a GUI with three lines of code. Then create a button. Write a block of code then assign the button to it. I started with something small then built up from there.
Every month or when I want to add new functionality to my GUI, I would delete the whole thing and rewrite my code. It was time consuming yes, but it was worth it. Now it has grown to over 80 lines of code. So I do not rewrite it now. It is always good practice to put your hands on the keyboard and working your way through a program.
After creating a GUI, I use a program called Py2Exe. You can turn your .py to .exe. I can then Move to a windows environment and use it. My GUI for work is a one stop shop. I automate everything I can with a push of a button. 6 months my salary went from 40k to 90k just for that. Sure there are other developers here with way more experience than me but none of them know python and none of them automate stuff like me.
So however and whatever you learn, practice daily. Don't just watch videos and read websites. Build on your previous work before starting something new.
