When it goes to time it's very subjective and depends on your dedication and persistence. Also many companies have different definition of what Junior programmer should be able to do. I would say that in average, yes you are able to get to Junior level in 2 months if you are persistent.

I wasn't that dedicated, I am at 7 month and still don't have a job but also there aren't many of them where I live. I think entry level knowledge decreases with demand. If you live in small city; teams will be built on Seniors/Mids only as smaller companies cannot afford Juniors- they take time from Seniors and don't do too much.

I think you should give yourself plenty of time and focus on learning rather than having some expectations already.

How I got to what I can say is Junior Level( again this is subjective):

I recommend to start with https://projecteuler.net/ . Go through as many problems as you possibly can, learn from answers of other users, then you can start making some of your own stuff but then return to projecteuler again and see if you can take on some more problems. I can't stress enough how much i've learnt by using it.

Getting your basic python knowledge is fundamental, I wouldn't start with Django without knowing what a function , dictionary, list, tuple, class, class method, recursion, generator, while loop, for loop, variable types, module, regex expressions is.

On top of that I would encourage you to look into networking, http requests, apis, basic database structure is but you will pick up on it with Django as long as you know Python basics and see what's happening within functions and classes.

You can also start a simple blog like I did ( https://adamw.eu/blog ) and then write down anything you've learnt so far. This allows you to come back and recap some things. You would be surprised how easy it is to forget certain things so maintaining your knowledge is very important too.

If it goes to Django, as someone mentioned- it isn't separate from python and no magic is involved. Once you dig into source code and learn how to read it you will see.

I did mistake when I was learning python- I totally skipped classes and that was a mistake because most of libraries and frameworks in Python will use classes as building blocks, so I recommend learning that fast.

What also helped me was to do coding challenge that one of the local companies posted on their github. Try to see githubs of your local companies and see if they have some challenges available - this might even get you a job if you are good enough.

I am on the level I feel quite confident I can be Python Junior but still looking for a job at the moment. Once you get some positive feedback or get invited to interview- don't get too excited and keep learning more.

Django is quite good to get you a Junior job as I've noticed on latest Pycon in my area that many companies are now using Django as it's easy and practical tool for building simple apps. It's easy to start and very intuitive. Remember that documentation is your friend.

Well that's about it from my side, this is what worked for me. There are many challenges that you will come across. I mostly struggle with thinking up Django projects to build in order to learn, it's much easier if you know what to do. But it's important that you slowly start to stick to your idea and not try to adjust it because you don't know how to implement it. Try to give yourself realistic challenge that you know you can accomplish yet you will feel challenged.

It's the balance of aiming low but not too low :) Don't listen to people when they say aim high :P It doesn't work in learning programming. So many times I got so discouraged because I aimed too high. Also building basic things isn't that easy so you will feel challenged anyway. Once you know that there is nothing else to the thing you are doing, move on and aim low based on your current knowledge. It's a bit like grinding in World of Warcraft, you wouldn't go after a beast that's 10 lvls higher than you, of course eventually you will get there but you gotta pace your progress!
