How fast did you manage to learn Python?

[Skaperen]

i just dove in even before i felt confident. i started python with an example script using the pexpect module. i just made a few simple changes, at first (changing text to make it access a router). then i expanded it and i had to get a reference document to understand how to do it. i don't remember what version of python was used but this was around 2009.

i typically don't learn from tutorials. for example, i learned most of IBM 360 assembler language by reading a hardware reference called Principles of Operation. i was already programming in 4 languages by then.
