Pretty much every time someone had asked that same question on SO.&lt;p&gt;If you stick to it for 2 months, you&amp;#x27;ll eventually &amp;quot;learn&amp;quot; all the routine tasks and Googling stuff becomes only occasional.&lt;p&gt;And it does help if you&amp;#x27;re familiar with NumPy.</text><parent_chain><item><author>spangry</author><text>I haven&amp;#x27;t tried this yet, but am praying that it delivers even half of what it promises.
