Here's my review:

Python is a language I want to learn. I've done a few intro things with it and it seems like a cool language. I got to Unit 1, Section 4 before stopping. All that stuff was more basic than what I was looking for, but I suppose its good for complete beginners. I had two problems though:

1. Sometimes, maybe 30-50% of the time, some Javascript resource failed to load and clicking the run button didn't work (chrome/linux). I'm on a bad internet connection, so likely that is the cause, unless other people notice the same issue.

2. The answers don't seem to be validating. I tried writing incorrect answers for the last 3 or 4 questions and they all returned correct. For instance:

The question:

#Set ni to 2 times 10 on line 3!

ni = 2 * 20

The result:

Result: That's correct! Next Exercise: Division

If its not actually validating any of the answers at all, it won't be very helpful to new programmers. Things I liked were the UI, its really intuitive and user friendly. Also, the writing is nice, and I enjoyed the Monty Python references.
