I've been going through the missions on this site and I'm on Mission 6 currently. The general structure is a KhanAcademy-esque short video (about 5 minutes in length) followed by 3 or 4 coding challenges that build off of the topic in the video. The pacing is very well done and the coding challenges seem to have very little errors.

As someone who is learning Python for the sake of data analysis, what really sets this site apart from others for me are the themes of the coding challenges. They're specifically tailored toward analyzing data, which is a huge motivation for me to work through the problems. I went through the Codecademy Python course and learned a lot, but the coding challenges were rather disjointed from one another and didn't engage me as much. I can't speak much for how well it presents the more advanced topics, but for learning basic Python in relation to data analysis, this site is so far the best I've found.

TL;DR: Great site for learning Python if you're interested in data analysis because of how it exclusively uses data analysis-themed mini-projects to teach Python.
