I have started out trying to learn Python for my first programming language. I am starting off with the book "how to think like a computer scientist." I spend about 4-5 hrs a day trying to learn this stuff. It is certainly no easy task. I've been at it for about 1-2 weeks now and have a very elementary picture of how Python works. I am teaching myself from home and only recieve help from this forum. Can anybody give me a timeframe as to how long it usually takes to pick something like this up, so I can maybe figure out a way to pace myself? I can dedicate a good amount of time to it everyday. Any advice on what is the best way to learn Python? I am a fairly educated individual with a natural sciences degree (forestry), so I also have a decent math background. Are there any constraints mathematically or logic "wise" that would prevent me from building a firm grasp of this language?
