Python tutorials

If you want to do more Python exercises then you will find that the internet is full with them. Your instructors have not really comprehensively evaluated them (in fact, we learned Python mostly by having to solve problems and reading documentation, other people's code, and getting advice from kind Python gurus).

However, the following seem to be useful resources --- having them listed here is not a endorsement or guarantee of any kind. Have a look and decide for yourself (feeback is welcome!):

1. The official Python Beginner's Guide
2. The official Python Tutorial
3. Software Carpentry's Programming with Python (a tutorial that is normally instructor-guided but can be easily done in self-study)
4. Swaroop CH's A Byte of Python (free online book)
5. Code Academy's Learn Python (a professional step-by-step tutorial with a substantial amount of free content but some parts of the tutorial require payment; however, the free parts are definitely worth checking out, especially if you like small steps and instant checks if you did it correctly)
