   > Problem is, my financial situation doesn't always allow for me to get access to structured learning.

   There's so much information on the web, or via books/video courses/MOOCs that there's no need to do the structured learning thing. Particularly with Python. Plus, Python is used in security to create scripts/tools.

   EDIT: Example of some books, vis-a-vis Python and security (learn the basics first).

   * Violent Python: A Cookbook for Hackers, Forensic Analysts, Penetration Testers and Security Engineers

   * Hacking Secret Ciphers with Python

   * Python Penetration Testing Essentials

   * Gray Hat Python: Python Programming for Hackers and Reverse Engineers

   From burritocop (linkdead): Hacking Secret Ciphers with Python http://inventwithpython.com/hacking/ I haven't yet read the book but I've heard good things about it. It looks like it's a beginning programming book that also teaches cryptography
