As far as I can tell, the bootcamps are not worth the money for the
following reasons:
I'm not a great fan or supporter of "boot camps" either. They tend to
produce rather 'narrow' graduates. Perhaps applicable to programmers
'converting' to a new language, but (a lot) less-so for non-IT folk
trying to break-in to the industry!
How about MOOCs?
Dr Chuck (of 'the book' fame) teaches one from Georgia Tech on Coursera
(https://www.coursera.org/courses?languages=en&query=python)
Similarly edX offers a range of either scheduled or self-paced offerings
(https://www.edx.org/course?search_query=python)
Plug other keywords into their search facilities, eg [learning]
"programming", for wider topics...
Disclaimer: I'm a staff member on the W3C's "HTML5-1 Coding Essentials
and Best Practices" course, using the edX platform, and have enjoyed
many MOOCs in technology and training topics.
