Clear intro to Python basics

Good pace and the function examples made sense. I just wish there were a couple more practice tasks per module.

Nice quick intro to syntax and libraries. I would've liked a bit more depth on edge cases, but it was easy to follow.

Useful right away

The part on writing small functions stood out, especially how it tied them to real tasks instead of abstract examples. A little more time on common library setup would’ve helped.

Handy and straightforward

I liked the short 5 to 15 minute exercises. The examples on how Python reads code were clear, though a few more of them would’ve been nice.
