I would recommend going to a bootcamp but as anon asked in the previous comment, there are a lot of unknowns here. You might have to study on your own for a bit before joining a bootcamp (there are usually coding tests or interviews involved) unless you have some coding knowledge or a mathematical background

Why Python? Why 6 months? What jobs are you interested in doing? How much of a pay cut can you take? Do you have any coding exposure at all? Can you parlay any of your writing experience into a developer position? Does your current company have training you can access? There are way too many unknowns here, what's the story?
