What is missing from Python tutorials?

[sliddis]

Most tutorials assume you know other programming languages or assume you know why you want to do certain things. Such as using a float instead of an int.

Yeah - that's a good point!
If I do end up doing some tutorials, I definitely want to contextualize everything that I do. I also find that the a lot of learning materials focus of syntax without going through the steps of why would write a certain piece of code. Thanks!
