That's achievable, at least to a working level.
Expert takes a tad longer.

OK, I'm biased...
But tutorials are very personal. Some people like a lot of explanation 
about the background and theory. Others like a lot of hands on and don't 
care about the 'why'.

My tutorial focuses on teaching programming in general while using 
Python as  the example language. The other tutorial you cite focuses
on teaching Python and as such gives a deeper study of the language at 
the expense of missing some of the wider issues. both will teach you 
enough to stat writing your own programs and be able to read and 
understand the documentation.

But the most important thing for you is which one matches your preferred 
learning style.

Use it! Find a project and write some code.
If you can't think of one find someone else's project and
lend a hand.

That will probably require you to learn other new technologies
such as HTML, network programming, databases and SQL, graphics, 
statistics, and so on... Once you start programming the learning
never stops.
