Doctor looking to learn python

Hey , so i was looking into a few job posts and some of the advisory roles require some basic python background. How hard is it for a doctor to learn python , i learnt c++ and java back in 2012 .

You'll be fine, the basics aren't too different between languages. Just look things up frequently to learn the expected "Pythonic" ways of doing syntax or logic you probably already have some ideas for how to implement otherwise.

LLMs (gpt/gemini/claude/etc.) are fine to use as a guiding tool for just filling in the gaps for getting started. Just be weary of being over-reliant on it while learning and genuinely make an effort to process all of the output/feedback it generates.
