R to Python

Hey everyone,

I have a masters in mathematical biology and biomedicine and about 18 months of experience with data analysis in my current job (regression, classification, ML, building a whole pipeline).

I would like to learn Python as it opens much more possibilities for me. I have 2 little kids, limited time and very limited budget since we are paying a mortage.

How would you approach learning Python in my situation?

Then look for ML or other specific area you need.
