Python help channel opened

Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

What questions did you have?

vast trout Jul 20, 2025, 5:09 PM

#

well i heard that codedex isnt the best approach to learning "coding" so im trying to figure out how i can lean python without randomly looking up youtube vieos for example

teal temple Jul 20, 2025, 5:10 PM

#

I'd start with something that has a bit more structure like a book or course

#

Otherwise you're right, you're just chasing down random topics

vast trout Jul 20, 2025, 5:10 PM

#

okay is there any of those without spending money straight off the bat?

teal temple Jul 20, 2025, 5:11 PM
