I am intermediate to advanced in Python. You cannot learn it in 9 days and be independently functional. You can copy paste and gst familiar with programming concepts, but anything above surface level logic and basic iteration is a big stretch. The hardest part about programming is the troubleshooting and that takes MUCH longer than 9 days to get comfortable with.

@Evan Lutz what is your definition of teach and what is the outcome someone will get in 9 days? You said "you're learning to write scripts for automation". If you class reading a text file with a list of domains, then iterating over them to submit to VT then sure, but if you mean parsing a PDF and extracting different types of unknown IOC types, submitting to VT and other services, polling internal tools, updating tickets, etc. (which is a much more realistic use case) then that will not happen even in a few weeks. I have lead automation teams pf many years now - there is being functional and there is parroting. You can certainly parrot in 9 days.
