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.

can you send me a basic learning youtube video in dms?

[chrome plank]

the page linked has resources by level and category, including beginner and video

just so you know: this isn't a thing you spend an hour on and you're good to go
