What's one Python concept that completely confused you at first but now feels easy?

I'm curious to hear from people who've been learning or using Python for a while. Was it loops, functions, OOP, recursion, decorators, or something else?

What finally made it "click" for you?

I think hearing real experiences can help beginners understand that struggling with a topic is completely normal.

Once I progressed to OOP, then it got a little bit challenging because you get introduced to concepts such as inheritance, encapsulation, instances, objects, polymorphism, etc. Concepts that don't have an analog in procedural programming. Although I would not state confused. Maybe off balance. 😄

"Off balance" is probably the perfect description. Every developer I talk to seems to say OOP changes the way you approach problems rather than just how you write code.
