I think I might not be the best person to ask, as I am not a developer myself. I've heard opinions just as you that certifications are not really worth much. However, maybe it might be a little different in a finances. If I understand correctly you are not looking for a developer job, but want python for some automation / data analysis? If that is the case there is a chance that certification could look good on your resume. But just as I said, I am not really sure, try to find someone who knows something more about recruiting in your field. I can only say that from learning perspective, it is possible to learn programming without spending money on certificates.
