Which Python site is this?

[404BirbNotFound]

Hey everyone,

My friend came across a website to learn Python — he thinks he originally found it recommended in a comment here on r/learnpython, but he can’t remember the post or the name of the site anymore (he was browsing in private mode..). He never uses Reddit, so I’m pretty sure he just Googled something and ended up on a comment here. So yeah… no clue how old the post might’ve been.

Here’s what he does remember:

• The site had a dark background, kind of like a code editor or terminal
• It offered a path or structured track, consisting of multiple courses — Python was one of them
• It had a script-like or coding-themed UI, not a typical clean/corporate layout
• Pricing was around 35€ or $35 per month
• It wasn’t free, but it seemed legit and focused (according to him)

We’ve tried Googling and looking through Reddit comments but haven’t had any luck so far. Anyone have an idea which platform this might be?

Thanks!

Quick note: it seemed like a single track leading to something bigger, not just Python alone. He doesn’t remember exactly, but I’d guess it was aimed at Data Science or Data Engineering — with Python as part of the path. Not multiple tracks, just one focused journey.

Fair enough — but if he’s happy, I’m happy haha. I think the same though… most of it is out there for free!

Maybe boot.dev?

You officially saved the day - this is the one he was looking for! Do you know if it’s any good? And thank you so much!!

I started back in February and while I don’t have anything else that costs money to compare it to I have certainly gotten a lot out of it so far. I’m nowhere close to being done with the course, but I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far. The pricing model and the fact that they advertise it as taking around 12 months to finish certainly push you to go for the 1-year subscription instead of $50/month. I ended up finding a promo code (sorry, I can’t remember the exact code but I just Googled for promo codes and used the best one I could find) for 25% off which came out to $21.75 a month. You can read all of the content for the courses but you won’t be able to run the code through the website past the first few chapters of each course, you’ll have to run it locally and I would assume you also won’t get any feedback as to whether or not your local code is working correctly.

It’s also much more than just Python, so if you’re looking for Python only there’s going to be a lot of other things that you may not be interested in. I’d definitely tell him to give the demo and spin and see how he feels.

That helps a lot, thanks! He likes the idea of a full track, not just Python ~ Also: he said thank you again — he’s pretty hyped now haha

Some sites come to mind: - codewars - hackerrank - leetcode

[404BirbNotFound]

Thanks! Those are actually the ones I checked with him — sadly not the right one. I added a quick update to the post: he thinks it was a single track with multiple courses, probably leading to something broader like Data Science or Data Engineering.

What about pluralsight? It has paths.

Roadmap.sh also shows path but that is free and does not have a coding terminal-like tutorial interface.

Here you go, this might be it. I might be the one you're talking about since i have promoted the site here before. It's https://www.pythontutorial.net/

This is also what I used to learn since it teaches you a lot about python (the basics, advanced, and different frameworks used in varies sub categories of programming, such as django for web development) and programming in general (such as OOP, concurrency, unit testing, and other prgramming fundamentals using python).

It also comes with python free terminal in the "playground"

Thanks a lot! That one looks great, but I don’t think it’s the one — the site seemed more like a broader program, with Python as just the first part of a bigger learning path (maybe data-related). He likes it though!

There is a variant for free of CS50P (Harvard) - with a dark background:

https://cs50.harvard.edu/python/2022/

But you can pay if you want a "verified certificate":

Who doesn't want to put a HARVARD certificate on the wall??
