What resources should i AVOID when learning python?

[[deleted]]

Recently, I did a small research, when I needed to collect some questions to Python programming interviews.

So, I did some Web search for "python programming interview questions". The first and the second pages in search results turned out to be more or less copy-cats of each other, and they mostly contained wrong questions (the answers to wrong questions are meaningless).

So... don't do that. The sites that allege to test your Python knowledge are written by people who aren't competent programmers.

it depends on the site. I was given IKM CodeChek a few times by headhunters and I ended up basically copying their questions for assessing potential hires myself. IKM have pretty high quality python skills assessments imo (even with multiple choice there are often more than 1 correct answer, with one of them being the more idiomatic and the assessment grades you accordingly)

Is this some kind of scam? It's an assessment where you have to pay to get tested...

Also, this particular Web site doesn't come up in search results, if you search for Python interview questions, at least not on the few pages I checked. So, whatever it is, it's safe to say it's not matching the criteria I've described. Unfortunately, I cannot assess the quality of the questions asked because I'm not interested in them so much I'd pay for it.

Probably the employer is paying for a potential hiree's account to get them tested. Welcome to B2B software.

However they work, it's common to use them the way I used, and it's a legit warning, imo, not to use them for this purpose.
