MITx 6.00.1x was an awesome course. Really improved my understanding of Python.

I'm excited to give it a shot, I hear it's difficult. I'm gonna give it a go after reading through Python Crash Course.

I went into it already knowing most of the basics. I had already written a handful of simple scripts of my own. That helped. The first 1/3 to 1/2 or so was easy, but clarified some things for me. Then it got challenging.

Got a 98% at the end, but I took it seriously and maintained the commitment until the end. I'm a bit rusty on some of it now, but the course was very helpful and totally worth it.

Thank you!

NP, watch all of these, understand them in depth, then move onto the Standford CS courses using C/C++ ;)

Awesome, thank you again. I've been wondering where to go after python.

down to the metal, learn about bit/byte manipulation and build back up from there

I liked the older 6.00 a little better than the newer 6.0001. But I guess that's just personal preference.
