Our take

Based on the ratings of 788 students and a sample of their written reviews. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a short beginner introduction to Python from Phaninder, running about 3.2 hours. The syllabus walks through setting up Python, using Spyder and Jupyter Notebook, variables and operators, numbers, lists and dictionaries, conditionals, loops, functions and a first look at NumPy. Nothing is required beyond a computer. Reviewers include a 53-year-old executive with no coding background and someone who already knew some C++. Despite the word "Complete" in the title, one student calls it basic Python, and the length backs that up. It was last updated in 2025.

The praise is heavy and consistent. Students describe small, digestible steps where each lecture builds on the last, and explanations that assume no prior knowledge. One mentions hands-on exercises in each lecture, and another says other courses had failed to stick before this one did. The complaints are narrower but real. One reviewer finds the delivery too slow, two say the accent is hard to follow, and one adds that the subtitles are automatic. One of the accent critics also dislikes being pointed to specific tools instead of general practice, and spotted spelling errors. The overall rating of 3.9 from 788 reviews is lower than the happy sample suggests.

At roughly three hours, it is quick to finish and works best as a gentle first pass. Anyone hoping it will lead to a programming job, as the listing implies, will need projects and more depth elsewhere. If the audio puts you off, check a sample lecture before paying. For a nervous first-timer who learns well from slow, step-by-step teaching, reviewers make a good case for it. Everyone else will probably outgrow it fast.

Best forTotal beginners who want a short, slow-paced first pass at Python before committing to a longer course.
Skip it ifYou want projects, real depth, or crisp audio; reviewers flag a heavy accent and a very slow delivery.

Pros

  • Reviewers say lectures are small and each builds on the previous one
  • Assumes no programming background; a 53-year-old executive and total beginners report it worked
  • Hands-on exercises in each lecture reinforce the concepts, one reviewer says
  • Short at about 3.2 hours, so it is easy to finish in a few sittings

Cons

  • Instructor's accent and slow pace bother several reviewers; subtitles are auto-generated
  • Basics only, so it falls short of the "Complete" in its title, as one reviewer points out
  • One student dislikes the pointers to specific tools and notes spelling errors
This course breaks down the principles of Python into small, digestible bits. It then uses those bits to build upon each other.

Genuinely for first-timers; the requirements ask only for a PC, and reviewers with zero coding background say it works.

Extremely concise and easy to follow. Must watch if you are starting out in Python.

I'm a complete, absolute, know-nothing, beginner on programming and I absolutely love this course. It covers all the core topics you would want to know about python does so in a concise, thoughtful manner.

If you're a total beginner to programming like myself, I definitely recommend the course!

This course breaks down the principles of Python into small, digestible bits. It then uses those bits to build upon each other. The instructor does an excellent job with giving explanations on how to learn to write efficient, clean code that others can read and understand.

No explanation on features, Comparison on Python 2 and Python 3, Concepts is not clearly explained.

Program is executed in a bundle. Takes time to understand how it works..!!

As someone with some knowledge of C++, but who was diving into Python for the first time, this course was perfect. The information is presented in a logical format leading from simple concepts to more complex syntax. The content is comprehensive and well-explained. This really is the course to get if you're interested in learning Python and coming to it with little to no prior programming knowledge.

If you're new to programming you'll love this course. I'm learning data science and have no computer programming background. This is a great course to get the basics of Python. Other courses I've took have required me to do internet searches to find basic principles backing up what was being shown which caused me to spend a lot of time trying to digest a concept. They assumed previous programming knowledge. This course took an extra step to explain everything. It's self contained and made learning a lot easier and faster. I highly recommend this if you're new to Python and to programming.

I am a 53-year-old executive with no former programming experience that learned how to write Python scripts by following the specific steps laid out in this course. What I liked about this course was the instructor's goal is to educate the student, not impress the student. I also appreciated the clear, direct teaching style of the instructor. I found myself thinking in terms of conditional statements after completing this course.

Outstanding walk through the fundamentals of Python. Easy to follow instructions, put forth in a simple yet interesting manner.

This course is one of the clearest, most concise courses I've ever took on a technical subject. Everything is easy to understand, and the code examples are easy to follow. The lectures are ordered in such a way that each one builds on the previous one naturally, and doesn't seem to be jumping around. I cannot recommend this course enough to anyone who is interested in learning Python.

I really enjoyed spending some quality time with this course. It has pretty much everything you need to get started programming with Python

I have experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but I wanted to start fresh on a new language. For some reason, Python seemed very attractive and I made a commitment to learn it. I decided to buy this course and I'm very glad I did. The tone of the course is very easy going. It's moderately paced, so it feels like you are always learning something new, but not going too fast, and the course also never gets boring. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for an introduction to Python. This will help start the foundation.

Good introduction to language and description of major topics.
