Nice step-by-step intro

The setup and basic syntax were explained clearly. I just wish there were a few more practice problems in the control flow section.

Solid start for Python. The functions part clicked for me, though I would've liked a bit more time on the exercises.

Useful and practical

What stood out was how it moved from first setup to simple programs without rushing. The examples with loops and essential modules were easy to follow; I just wanted a couple more real-world tasks.

I liked the calm pace and the clear explanations of variables, functions, and basic modules. It would've been nice to have a few extra challenges at the end, but it still felt really approachable.
