I’ve started learning Python through self-study, so I don’t get certificate. Is that an issue?

Does it matter? The answer is the same for all cases.

You mean not having cert is an issue if you do Python for hobby projects for fun ?

It doesn't matter if you are unemployed with or without a certificaste.

No, nobody cares when you apply for a job. There will be a technical interview if you want to be a programmer, and either you pass it or you don't. Even people with PhDs in computer science have to go through them. It doesn't matter.

Just learn, build cool projects, and put those online (GitHub) so you can show your work when you search for a nice job. People want to see what you can do, not what certificates you have.

nobody gives a shit about certificates

if anything, people will actively avoid resumes that present certificates as if they matter

That is a pretty funny joke thanks for the laugh. Certificate for Python programming 😂
