You don't really need to be good at math to learn Python. I'm not good at it as well.

You might need it when your doing data science work but that depending on which type of way you learn.

I'm more of the kind who is a visual learner who works with my hands. So I tend to ignore theory or math unless it links with real life implications of what I'm doing or what I'm gonna do which I need it to get things done.

Thanks for sharing! I learn the same way as you do, and I'm doing a decent job at it when it comes to actually coding. But the course I'm using has lots of exercises using math and I get stuck every single time. I still believe you don't need to be good at math to learn Python, but even though I wish I had paid a little more attention to my math classes :D
