For a python programmer some parts of Rust might feel too low-level and out of reach. However that is not a big issue. I would suggest you get comfortable tooling first, intellij rust plugin was awesome when I last checked it out. It comes with autocomplete, on-the-fly syntax checking etc. out of the box. The Rust compiler has very sane and understandable error messages (at least for basic tasks) so that will guide you a lot. I would also advise you to get on #rust-beginners on irc.mozilla.org, if you have any questions you will get instant help, which is a huge benefit :). Lastly, I would first advise you to work through https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/rust/ https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/rust/ to get a feel of the language (like dipping your toes into the water). If you like what you see, then continue from the Rust book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ . And most importantly remember to have fun!
