If you're looking at learning Python then look no further, this book is what you need. Python is one of the easiest language to pick up and learn, mainly because of it’s clear and expressive syntax. So you can get started with it pretty easily. The rest depends upon how you approach learning it. You can learn python by just reading the docs and following along with it to grasp the language. You can then use python to build applications in a number of domains, such as a GUI Desktop Application, Web Application, A Machine Learning Model and so on. If you are just getting started, I would suggest you just learn the basics and start building small scripts to automate common tasks, like removing all times from Recycle Bin and so on.
