I only know HTML & CSS.

Is is worth it to learn Python?

Is Python a competence inside a package like knowing Excel well, or are there Python only jobs?

i am a little confused and looking for clarification.

you mae a point to say that you are a non-techie but you are looking to learn a programming language.

there are non developement jobs that ise python:
you can automate excel with python and axientists will use it for modeling ,

but a python only job would be a software developer job.

so i guess i am asking, what goal are you tring to reach that python came up?

Learning a new useful competence for many kinds of jobs, like Excel, or landing a full-Python job. Does it make sense?

This is a python tutorial book, that focuses on practical usecases that anybody may want, even if it is not for their career.

Python is designed to be easy to learn, and many of the things you learn will be able to translate to other programming languages. So I would say yes.
