Python is <3 If you have any questions I can help.
To learn though,a good way is to learn the basics like syntax first by reading beginner guides, then figure out something you want to do... like I dunno.. you want to make a program that tells you when to water your plants.
Then web search each piece you don't know how to do, eg how to make an object (class), how to put things into a list, etc...
Thanks so much.
Trying to think of a simple, yet practical project is half my hang up sometimes.

Here's another idea.. drawing on your electrician experience.
Make a program that reads a text file, which sort of mimics a panel schedule, but on each line instead of a load current, it has a voltage/resistance. With the goal being to find and add up the currents and spec a cable that can carry it all.
1) Find out how to open a file in python
2) Learn how to read it line by line
3) Process each line and find out how to pull the values and calculate the current, add to a list
4) At the end, add up all the values and figure out how to specify the right gauge wire
5) Print output
Holy smokes, thanks for the idea!
