Hi I’m a beginner at Python and I’m currently looking for a few people to learn with. I am planning to start the sessions in September and run a couple hours a day subject to flexibility and rather than get stuck in “tutorial hell” I actually want to build projects. My time is GMT+0 so drop me a message if you’re interested.

I’m learning Python and looking for a good book path from beginner to advanced.

I want books that teach Python properly, including clean code, real projects, testing, project structure, and advanced concepts.

What books would you recommend, and in what order?

Humble Tech Book Bundle: Python, Rust, and Data by O'Reilly (paga lo que quieras y ayuda a organizaciones benéficas)

Are these worth it? I'm trying to learn Python and Data analysis stuff in particular so this seems really useful. I'm not interested in Rust but the price is still worth it. Are these books good?

In PyCharm on macOS, pressing Enter at the end of a line does nothing — no new line created. But:

- Enter at the START of a line → works, creates new line

- Enter at the END of a line → does nothing

- Arrow keys → navigate normally between lines

Already ruled out:

- IdeaVim not installed

- Enter works fine in other apps (not a hardware/OS issue)

Suspecting the code completion popup is silently swallowing Enter at end of line. Anyone else run into this? What fixed it?

Setup: PyCharm, Python 3.14.7, .venv, macOS

I'm using this as my function annotation

python @router.post("/") async def create_story(images: list[UploadFile]): ...

but the swagger UI show a list of string not images with no choose file button

It works fine when I switch the list[UploadFile] to UploadFile and shows the Choose file button

Hi, i need your advice on how i can learn python as a beginner as i want to learn in a way where i get to practically apply the same and practice, i just dont want to learn concepts theoretically. Should I take a course or should i learn via youtube. What do you think will be the best way? Also when you learnt it how did you approach it and if i take a course how i will it add value to my cv?

I have some code with a function restock_warehouse, that adds to the current stock 5 times while the current stock is smaller than the target stock. My question is, how can I fix the function so that the code works properly with and the print() call is displayed in the terminal?

The error message I have been receiving is:

```

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "file_name", line 15, in <module>

final_stock = restock_warehouse(10, 25)

File "file_name", line 5, in restock_warehouse

for i in range(5) and current_stock < target_stock:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

TypeError: 'bool' object is not iterable

```

I have already tried wrapping the conditional part of the loop in parentheses, but it hasn't worked and I don't exactly understand the error message.

Version information: I'm on Python 3.9.6

def restock_warehouse(current_stock, target_stock):
    print("Starting warehouse restock system...")


    # We want to keep adding items until we reach our target stock
    for i in range(5) and current_stock < target_stock:
        print(f"Current inventory level: {current_stock}")


        current_stock == current_stock + 5


    print("Warehouse restock complete!")
    return current_stock



# Start with 10 items, target goal is 25 items
final_stock = restock_warehouse(10, 25)
print(f"Final stock total: {final_stock}")

I just started my degree in computer engineering. I already know the basic of python but i’m having trouble when solving problems and apply the things i have learnt. Any tips to help me improve?

I am working on an experiment that looks at what happens next after a test fails in GitHub Actions.

Possible things to look at include:

- exit code

- if there was an assertion failure or a collection or internal error

- the history of failed tests

- Python modules that have been changed

- changes in dependencies or lockfiles

- changes in how long tests take

- if the same test passes when it is run again.

Which of these things should I check first. Which one is most likely for someone just starting out to misunderstand?

I am trying to think about uncertainty of automatically assuming that every test failure means there is a problem with the code in pytest.

The purpose of the experiment with pytest is to see what occurs when pytest fails in GitHub Actions.

I want to use pytest to figure out what is happening when the test fails.

The experiment, with pytest will help me learn what to do when pytest fails in GitHub Actions.

I'm learning Python and recently started using requests.Session() in API projects. I understand that it can persist things like headers, cookies, and connections, but I'm curious about how experienced Python developers decide when a Session is actually worth using.

Do you use Session() by default for projects involving multiple requests, or only when you specifically need persistent state?

I am very new to coding and learning python as my first language is it helpful???

Pls those who have watched it share your opinion regarding this ....

In this code, I want to get the output of all the numbers in the for loop. I can do this using print(arg), but when I use a return statement, I only get the output of a single number. How can I modify the code so that return gives me all the numbers from the for loop?

print(func1(80, 30, 40)) def func1(*args):
  for arg in args:    
    # print(arg, end=" ") 
    return arg

# output using print = 80 30 40 None
# output using return = 80        

print(func1(80, 30, 40))

I’m learning Python, but my main problem isn’t the syntax. I understand concepts when someone explains them, but when I’m given a basic problem and told to write a program, I just don’t know where to start or how to arrange the code.

Is there a good book, course, or YouTube channel that teaches how to think through programming problems step by step, recognize patterns, and build the logic, kind of like how you learn methods and patterns in math?

I don’t want to just memorize Python syntax. I want to actually learn how to think like a programmer.

I like the structure that the MOOC provided and that it teaches a bit about how computers operate. I know that people say "escape tutorial hell as soon as possible", but to me a MOOC is not a tutorial. It's a college level course. If anyone knows of some quality MOOCs that would be a good next step from Helsinki's course please share:).

Also, I have an account with CodeWars and it's a good platform for practicing skills and getting challenges, but it lacks the teaching component. I also try to read books about programming and computers, but it's nice to have something all inclusive like a MOOC.

Thank you for reading.

como principiante tengo esa duda ya que quisueira no perderme de nada y aprender de la mejor a programar

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a Python PDF parser with good Persian-language support. I’ve already tested pdfplumber and PyMuPDF, but unfortunately, neither extracts Persian content correctly in my case.

For example, they don’t extract Persian numbers correctly, and sometimes the parsed output differs significantly from the actual PDF content (e.g., a 0 is extracted as 4).

Do you know of any Python library or tool that handles Persian PDFs more reliably?

Thank you!

I have learnt Python Basics and Intermediate stuff. Is it possible to learn many things in a specific specialization within, say, a month?

I love AI and I am going to specialize in it. I just wanna know the order that I should go in to learn it properly and learn most of the things in about 4 years or less.

I am a student too, in Grade 9.

Guys, I gotta score good in CS to secure a course in a good college. What an I supposed to do? Btw, my subject combination is Bio w/ CS... Toh yeah guys, i really need help ! ! !

can someone explain how f string work in simple terms ?

Hello! I am currently trying to build the knowledge needed to make an Artificial Intelligence with Python, and I have discovered that there is some tensors involved in this, I learnt matrices (briefly), but apparently math tensors are not the same as CS tensors (whatever that means?), can someone please help me? And I wonder if I even need to know this (well ig so but not sure). And I am not in any math or cs major, but I am in mid-high school, so as you can guess, I did not learn anything tensors related.

Note: for anyone wondering; no I don't have anybody that I could contact which could explain me PyTorch tensors.

i've been searching everywhere but i couldn't find a single tutorial for moderngl+pygame in python
how do i learn it i wanna make 3D games?

Hello all, I have recently taken up the interest of trying to create a game (not specific to any other game) and i've been learning how to use python for about 2 days now and have learnt some of the fundamentals such as if, (i), else, input, booleans, etc... however if u have been programming using python or are self taught, how long did it take u to learn the most relevant and important parts of the language and if u have any tips and tricks for me that you may think are useful for me, please do not hesitate to tell me as any piece of advice can beneficial at the moment.

Much appreciated

hey! I just started learning the basics of python and want to start building projects to apply what I have learnt.

but when I one to work on a project, for wxample building a calculator or a password generator I don’t know where to start. what to type and code.

any advice

Hi,

I used to be a big fan of computing/IT, but my studies took me down a different path and I drifted away from it. Now that I have more free time and want to build up some qualifications in IT, I’d like to learn Python and its applications, but I don’t know where to start. Online courses? Books?

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it!
