I'm not sure that I would have set out on this journey to learn Python if I had known how massive the task was going to be. I AM enjoying it, but my gosh, when am I ever going to feel like I have a handle on this stuff?


If it helps: I'm still learning, and I've been at it for a while.  So
have many of the others here.

Take it one step at a time.  Try cementing knowledge by really
building things.  Talk to others.

As Piet Hein says:

    Err
    and err
    and err again
    but less
    and less
    and less.

As Peter Norvig says: http://norvig.com/21-days.html

Most of the fundamental knowledge you're picking up should probably
not be too tied to Python.  In the best case, the skills should
transfer to many of the other in-vogue programming languages out there
today.
