My bad for not being precise: I had to learn Python specifically for this project because the only memory I had about the course was: "Python bare basics were easy to learn". I had never even installed python locally or anything and saw those courses at the time as only games to get some minimum idea about the language, as I had no intended use for it.

Adding to this topic, now I can say it was easy enough, even for someone like me. A few times I needed help from actual people and got it from the kind and amazing folks that hang around StackOverflow Python chat, but mostly Python docs (or some simplified form of it provided by other website) and google queries would do the job when I had a code obstacle. Python was overall very intuitive for me, apart from a few surprises (mainly regarding scopes and names).
