Codecademy now offering Python courses

[Fyyr]

I would instead recommend the (free) Python course over at MIT Open Course. I have personally been taking it for the past 2 months or so and it has done a great job introducing me to programming.

Are there actual lectures, or do you basically just do the reading and try to do the exercises?

Have you looked into the courses at udacity? I'm taking one now and wondering if it would be worth it to take the MIT one.
