What happens when people want to start a music instrument and start with pure theory, scales and modes, it's that the instrument ends up in a forgotten corner of the room because they are not having real fun with it.
I would like to suggest that you start with a pet project, you can even start with a website for example in which case start with Django official tutorial for example. Have fun ! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
