Intro to Python for Brand New Programmers
summary
Starts at the basics and shows actual code: live use of the python REPL, building and running scripts (greetings.py, rand.py, die.py), surprising big integers (2*10000 prints), about ~70 builtins and use of random.choice for picks. Teaches strings/lists/if/for/input, writing files with pathlib.read_text/write_text* (note: write_text overwrites), simple debugger via breakpoint, and small projects (jot.py journal, state/capitals quizzers, a breathing timer) that mostly work with a few platform caveats.
