🐍 Python Beginner Tutorial and Exercises

By @alesanchezr and other contributors at 4Geeks Academy

This exercises are the ideal first step for anyone trying to learn Python, we start from the most simple challenge like printing a message on the terminal and slowly increase step by step.

This particular series are for Python beginners. You will learn:

The print function,
Data-Types,
Lists and Tuples,
Functions and dictionaries.

The entire tutorial is 👆 interactive, ✅ auto-graded and with 📹 video tutorials.

These exercises were built in collaboration, we need you! If you find any bugs or misspells plese contribute and report them.

One click installation:

Local Installation

Install learnpack, the package manager for learning tutorials and the html compiler plugin for learnpack, make sure you also have node.js 14+:

$ npm i learnpack -g
$ learnpack plugins:install learnpack-python

Download this particular exercise using learnpack and cd into the folder:

$ learnpack download python-beginner-programming-exercises
$ cd python-beginner-programming-exercises

Note: Once you finish downloading, you will find a "exercises" folder that contains all the exercises within.

Start the tutorial/exercises by running the following command at the same level were your bc.json file is:

$ $ pip3 install pytest==4.4.2 pytest-testdox mock
$ learnpack start

Note: The exercises have automatic grading but its very rigid and string, my recomendation is to ignore the tests and use them only as a recomendation or you can get frustrated.

How are the exercises organized?

Each exercise is a small react application containing the following files:

app.py: represents the entry python file that will be executed by the computer.
README.md: contains exercise instructions.
test.py: you don't have to open this file, it contains the testing script for the exercise.
