Google's Python Class | Python Education | Google for Developers
The first exercises work on basic Python concepts like strings and lists, building up to the later exercises which are full programs dealing with text files, processes, and http connections. The class is geared for people who have a little bit of programming experience in some language, enough to know what a "variable" or "if statement" is.

In light of the news about the python team at google
I assume you're referring to this one: Google layoffs: Sundar Pichai-led Alphabet's arm fires entire Python team, says report If you read the article, it also states that their US Python team consists of less than 10 people. If you're one of them, that's of course horrible, but I think I'm not the only one who was expecting hundreds of people in that team. The article also states that a new team will be created in Germany because labor is cheaper there (really, the biggest economy in Europe is now 'cheap labor'?). More on reddit.com

I thought I just sucked at learning python, but it turned out the Coursera Google Python course just sucks.
Do you know what "crash course" means? This course isn't intended to be comprehensive, and you need to do the extra work yourself using the resources provided. I do have Python experience and found this course to be great, as many other have. More on reddit.com

r/learnpython on Reddit: Starting to learn Python in Google's Python Class - good idea?
October 4, 2023 -

Hello! I'm an absolute beginner to programming, and thought I could start with the Goolge course on Python.

I've downloaded the zip with exercises, downloaded and installed Python and Notepad++, managed to set up Notepad as per the instructions, but I'm already stuck at the very beginning:

I'm supposed to run the following: C:\google-python-exercises> python hello.py

So, my first attempts were the following:

C:\google-python-exercises> python hello.py File "<stdin>", line 1 C:\google-python-exercises> python hello.py ^ SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

I've tried danielroseman's suggestion, and got the following:

python hello.py File "<stdin>", line 1 python hello.py ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I've also tried kyber's suggestion, and this is the result:

python hello.py

File "<stdin>", line 1 python hello.py IndentationError: unexpected indent

And Python is supposed to print "Hello World", but I keep getting all kinds of errors. With the "unexpected character after line continuation charcter", I've figured it's because of backslash and the fact that is should be used to divide longer lines of code. I'm not sure what to do about the "unexpected indent". I've been running in circles and going crazy all evening :/ Is the course outdated or something? Was something new or different introduced in Py 3.12? If backslash is used to divide longer code, why use it here? What am I doing wrong? Is there any way around this?

Is Google's Python Class even a good idea to start with here?

Thanks!
