Hey, it's worth trying to pick it up, I find it immensely enjoyable. There are plenty of beginners tutorials here on Steemit and on the rest of the net. In fact @cristi posted a link that includes a bunch of nice free Python books a few days back - here.
(Don't do it if you value your time though. I regularly find myself wondering why I'm hungry or why it's suddenly light outside, then realising I've been sitting at the keyboard for 20 hours straight.)
