Personally, I'd suggest two main things.
>1 Put together a portfolio
Think about what you want to do and do try to do things that seem at least somewhat related. If you want to work with python then go write some handy python tools. For me its always nice to write things that feel at least like they're useful to me, but really you can do anything. It doesnt matter if you dont know much python right now, just learn by doing things and you'll get better with time.
It helps to break these into concrete projects that you can put up on a website or a github (or a blogpost), and refference on a CV.
>2 get contacts in a related field
I'm not sure there's a straightforward way to do this, but it seems a very useful step. Go to a hackspace in your town and meet people, or try to pull up any contacts you might have who know something about or are involved with computers. These can be online too in some cases. If you can demonstrate to enough people that you're reasonably compotent (and they know you're kinda looking for a job), its not too improbable that one will eventually come your way.
You can apply for jobs too, at the same time, but frankly it seems to me that for many things in this nature, contacts are a pretty good way, especially to get your foot in the door when you dont have much on your CV.

>I'm bored of my monotonous 9 to 5 and want to get a job in tech
get ready for a monotonous 9 to 5 but with the added benefits that computers will no longer be fun
