Thanks, for your suggestion. Python is also good for 10 years old or 12.
Hello, Ned and Dan.
Thank you for your helpful suggestions! I’ve started putting together a list of gaps and improvements for beginners. My objective is to create a “Absolute Beginner’s Guide” as a standalone resource.
Should I modify the existing Python instructional or build a new one and then submit it to the Python Software Foundation for review?
I’ll create a simple HTML site with sections (maybe some CSS/JS for readability). Should I keep things simple or use React? All content will be released under the PSF license and open-source on GitHub for collaboration.
I’ll post the repo link soon. Please recommend the structure and licence to use. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much! Anyone, please collaborate!
Thank you everyone for help! Please collaborate!
Sorry for anything wrong! ![]()
Writing a new tutorial is a big undertaking, and doesn’t need to involve the PSF or the core team at all. There’s no need for it to be on the official Python docs site, at least not at first. A handful of people are interested in new tutorials: they can either combine forces, or work independently where they have different goals.
Ok, thanks! You can collaborate , if you want! Have a nice day!
I’ll start working on this!
But posting six screens of bloated AI-style text to say what could have
been summed up in a couple of paragraphs is NOT the best way possible.
It’s going to turn a lot of people off and they won’t read it, they’ll
just think “this is AI slop” and move on to the next message.
It’s always better to write in your own words, even if they’re not
perfect. We understand that many people are not native English speakers
and make allowances for that.
New update 
I decided make that project in RUST. It is open source and can be found on this url - https://python-all-levels-book.vercel.app/ .
Thsi book is not meant to replace the original documentation it’s like : w3schools, others
but better than that platforms.
Idc , I’m the author of this book and Note : it is still under development.
I don’t have a particularly high opinion of w3schools, but at the moment, you still have a long way to go even to reach that level. Maybe work on it for a while before you announce anything.
It is great to want to teach. I wish you well on this project. It will be a lot to do, but it will be very gratifying to accomplish it. It will be good to have another quality resource for teaching Python.
Thanks
for always motivating me!
Hey, your idea is really good. Having a very simple beginner section in the python docs would make it easier for kids and new learners to start coding without feeling confused. It is definitely something worth looking into and your perspective as someone still learning would be really helpful.
Not a bad idea at all.
I would suggest keeping it ‘short and sweet’.
It would need to be as much an introduction to programming as it is an introduction to Python.
Print statements, input statements, variables and the use of. Looping and conditional statements. Functions and passing arguments into functions and getting a return value from the functions.
Stay away from the exotic or complicated.
In my opinion, all this text needs to do is teach the child what a program is and how Python can be used to create one. Teach the basics and then the kid (or older student) can move on to other, more comprehensive texts.
And, personally, I like my ‘instruction manuals’ to be in pdf files.
And then there is the ‘problem’ of installing python itself. I personally have not had any problems installing python - in Windoze or this Linux box. But I have read of people having nightmarish problems installing python . . . .
Under, Linux mint there is this ‘Software Manager’. Click that, find and install python and Spyder and I was in business. Under Windoze, system 7, 32 bit, I had to find the appropriate python and install it and, once again, I was in business.
