I tried learning Python and gave up couple of times. Learning alone is difficult for me. If anybody else feel same then please reachout to me.
Edit: I created a discord group for everyone who's looking to learn Python together. Interested people can add me on discord. User name is arjunageer

I'm available. I was where you are OP. I'm still a work in progress but I'm working through Python projects on my own.
If it helps, I learned Python using Eric Matthes "Python Crash Course". I also learned Python in a data analytics bootcamp which meant I really got to learn Python. I found the platform Real Python to be super helpful as a newbie. They have free articles to read but I got a lot of value from them so I sprung for paid subscription.
I am here
I can join weekly
available once a week…
I'm down.
I'm always happy to help someone who's not afraid of doing their own heavy lifting.
I’m down as well ! Let me know
im down. any chance this can be done over discord?
Is this gonna be a group? I have a similar story and could use the support
I am here
I’m currently enrolled in a college class and completely lost so hope someone can help with the lab exercises and why we enter some things.
can we make a whatsapp group with complete python newbies who want to learn together
I haven't even started having someone to do it together will be so much more fun , let's link up
Setting a regular time for paired coding sessions helps maintain motivation, we could pick simple Python exercises and review each other's code after.
i’m down. i just started dr. angela yu’s 100 days of python on udemy.
dm me :)
I use Coddy while trying to build little projects on the side
Have you tried using an AI tool (Claude, ChatGPT) as your partner? Worked for some people I know.
Yes, I'd say to check some YT videos, download transcripts, summary from claude and check what you want to learn, then let it think a project where you can more or less practice every step and do it by yourself, but having claude on your side for questions,...
I used to suggest this but it's become quite hard to get the mainstream chatbots to perform in this way. They default to either a teacher or worker role and you have to argue with them to keep them in line which is just unnecessary frustration
Wait, you can't just command them to "not make a mitake"???
what specifically made you give up each time? if it was the material being boring, picking a small project you actually care about makes a huge difference vs just following tutorials

Wholeheartedly second this. I've wanted to learn Python for years, but tutorials were about as fun as watching paint dry. This year I started writing stuff I actually wanted and just kinda learning as I go (like a nifty little weather script that reports to Home Assistant via MQTT and creates a "severe weather score" based on active warnings from the NWS API) and it's been WAY easier to actually stick with. I feel like I've learned a lot more in a lot shorter time, this way.
