Yes, it's possible to learn python in a week.
There are 33 keywords.

Is it possible to learn data structures, algorithms, and a bit of discrete math/combinatorics in a week?
No, for most people.

Yeah it’s possible. You just gotta know what to do, it’s probably a simple task anyways. As a lot of questions, so you really know exactly what is being done. If grilled, just overly complicate and explain yourself out of the situation.

Python is pretty easy, it’s only hard if people want stuff done a certain way. But in that situation you can just turn in the subpar work anyways and somebody else will fix it.
Learn it on their dime......If you have any issues on the job....ask the "smart guy"...not only will you get stuff done, but will also be getting private lessons.

And if they fire you....good....now you can say you have python experience and up your salary.

Work smarter, not harder:ufdup:
Also listen to this breh, he knows exactly what he’s talking about.

Nope two he wants us to make our own code using it

Code doing what exactly? If you're just setting up a job that runs daily to delete some files then yeah you'll be fine.

If you have to rewrite 100,000 lines of code for some type of enterprise/cloud based system with a 1000 moving parts then your screwed.

Scope matters

It's possible to mimic someone else's code and piece shyt together in a week. He'll do like most coders would do, stackoverflow until his project's done.
He's not learning a mother fukking thing though.

You will not learn any language in a week. Or a month. If you're really good, maybe, MAYBE, a year. And you'll still be at the basics.

Quite frankly, unless you understand OOP/OOD and/or FP concepts, you will mull through any language you try to learn.

You gotta worry about syntax, language quirks, and idiomatic programming in that language.

Walking a mile isn't hard. If it's just putting foot in front of the other. But it still takes a long time.
