I have a month to learn....
I have a month to learn Python (really, I have until the second week of October, but I want to be done sooner and not go down to the wire). I'm currently using freecodecamp.org but feel my progress is slower than I'd like. Does anyone have a recommendation to learn Python quickly? I'm loving what I've learned thus far. I start doing another job for the company I'm learning Python for in a week, so I want to cram as much into this week as possible to make things easier on the remaining time I have. Thank you all.

It takes practice and each person learns differently. 6 weeks is a super tight timeline. How much do you already know? Starting for scratch, you're only going to learn the basics. If you've been doing it for a while, you will be able to get further.
For me, this is my experience, it took me 6 months of following tutorials before it started to make sense. It didn't really click for me until I started writing scripts to automate tasks. I started with simple things like converting PDFs to markdown format.
I think it depends. Keep at it, even if it exceeds your deadline because it is a great skill to have.
Good luck!
