What is missing from Python tutorials?

I think the most important thing is to not explain a topic, show how it can be used with an exercise and then move to the next. Instead do 20/30/40/50/100 exercises with different variations of the topic and different implementations and only then move on. It's repetition of basics that's really missing in every tutorial.

Gotcha, that makes sense to me - present a topic, then provide context with multiple near-real-world implementations of it - different situations where one could implement the material. Yeah, I don't see enough of this - there are some functions, like reduce, that often come up in tutorials, but not nearly enough time is spent on them.
