Open source projects do not require previous professional experience to
accept volunteers.  So, one way out of your dilemma is to make a name
for yourself as an open source contributor -- help out with Python
itself and/or with any of the many open source projects that use Python,
and you will both learn a lot _and_ acquire "professional experience"
that any enlightened employer will recognize as such.  That will take a
while, but not as long as getting a college degree (and it will be far
cheaper than the degree).
