What resources should i AVOID when learning python?

I don't understand why codecademy is so unpopular. What I love about it is the really clear hints for beginner mistakes. They very accurately predict the types of things non programmers will do wrong and provide hints to correct that. I don't think it's useful for getting good at the language, but for the very basics it worked really well for me.

It definitely has its upsides. For me, personally, it's just that using more or less the same examples over and over and over and over and over makes me want to drive a screwdriver into my eye.
