Neural network in python - is it worth it?

Question

Python

Hello.
I decided to ask for advice from experienced python programmers.
I learned, in general, Python 2 months ago and now I continue to study.
I write small programs for myself - like clearing the browser history, working with files and folders, I participate in olympiads.
And so I went to graduate school.
The teacher knows that I'm teaching python and offers to write a neural network - like there is data and you need to write a forecast.
Is it worth it, after reading articles on Habré and on other sites, I realized that it would be difficult for me, but the teacher instructs how to refuse him.
Python was taught purely for general development, and that's how I like web development
Whether I should take up this business or not - the defense of scientific work in a year.
Master's degree is not related to programming.
Generally a different direction.

Answer 1

What kind of data? - at least approximately. Maybe it fits into a linear model (all points are clustered around a certain straight line).
It's worth taking it - better than not taking it) There are ready-made libraries, there are online courses and short lessons. And it's for python. The simplest network for digit recognition to write is a few lines of code (for example, MNIST on Tensor Flow ). Maybe this is your case too.
