Great resources! Thanks for that!

Also, for those interested in buying the Refactoring book, Martin Fowler has recently announced that he's working on a 2nd edition of the book, which he hopes to release early this summer. So, those of you who were planning on buying it, if you can wait a little bit it'll probably be a good idea.

I'll add codecademy.com/learn/learn-python to the list. It's an interactive, online, non-sense tutorial that teaches Python basics. You'll write Python code instantly.

I also recommend to use a good linter to learn the best-practices. It is also useful to catch errors one can possibly make. I recommend wemake-python-styleguide:

GitHub logo wemake-services / wemake-python-styleguide

The strictest and most opinionated python linter ever!

wemake-python-styleguide

wemake.services Supporters Build Status Coverage Status Python Version wemake-python-styleguide


Welcome to the strictest and most opinionated python linter ever.

wemake-python-styleguide logo

wemake-python-styleguide is actually a flake8 plugin with some other plugins as dependencies.

Quickstart

pip install wemake-python-styleguide

You will also need to create a setup.cfg file with the configuration.

We highly recommend to also use:

  • flakehell for easy integration into a legacy codebase
  • nitpick for sharing and validating configuration across multiple projects

Running

flake8 your_module.py

This app is still just good old flake8 And it won't change your existing workflow.

invocation resuts

See "Usage" section in the docs for examples and integrations.

We also support Github Actions as first class-citizens Try it out!

What we are about

The ultimate goal of this project is to make all people write exactly the same python code.

flake8 pylint black mypy wemake-python-styleguide
Formats code?
Finds style issues? 🤔 🤔
Finds bugs? 🤔

Hello all I am new to the group. As a python teacher I decided to take all the programs I have written and put them into a single application for the teacher. My inspiration... to make my life easier lol. The program is written in powershell yet it runs all python apps. The demo program will contain a cross section of the apps. The production program currently has 221 exercises and is growing daily. It allows the teacher to select the lessons from the various categories and build the actual lesson. It is also a presentation tool for the teacher. You can present on an overhead and people in the back row of the class can read the code easily. I don't know if anyone has created such an application. It is really unlike all of the web download stuff that you find. It is a windows app. I will be putting out a demo within two weeks. I will post a link from our website to download the demo when it is actually posted. Our website is siraoops.com. For the most part our website has educational software. I am being influenced by my teacher role. Let me know if there any interest. Turns out I am also originally from NY.

The correct way to learn anything is to go through it's concept. And as per my view, you can't learn any thing just by seeing on the book. Moreover, if he really want to learn python, he should take some course from an expert.
