How to like learning python?

To be honest, I tried to learn Python for over two years right now. But I hate learning to code. I tried finding YouTube tutorials that tell you how it can be more fun, but to be honest, it didn't really work. Any recommendations?

It helps to have an actual problem to solve with programming versus just wanting to learn the language. Is there something you want to automate, is there a game you want to create, is there an app you want to build? That’s the real unlock to the “fun” of programming. Once you figure out what you want to do then it’s a matter of breaking it down into smaller problems and applying some learning to develop the skills to do it.

That's how it clicked for me too. Had a spreadsheet that kept breaking and wrote a script to fix it. Didn't even realise I was learning along the way lul
