One meta-suggestion:
It may be that with python you can go further in less time than with
older languages like C++, Java etc.
But less time doesn’t mean no time — You still need to learn, to walk the
learning curve
In short: Dont skimp on the tutorial: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/
even (especially) if you find the examples uninteresting/irrelevant
