Just a day or two, but I was already experienced with several similar
languages. It would take longer for a beginning programmer.

Don't exactly remember, but at one point there had been an existing
Pyton program that I had wanted to modify.

No, not at all, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was.

I've had some Python jobs, but I'd say I got them through being a widely
experienced programmer in general, rather than just from knowing Python.
Being a good programmer isn't just about knowing languages--it's mostly
about being able to turn a higher-level problem it into a programming
problem, then solve the programming problem. That's not the most
difficult thing in the world, but you should take a wider approach than
just learning languages.
This book is very good (full text online too), though it doesn't use
Python:
