My partner has tried learning Python multiple times. What hung her up the most each time was the installation and setup on a Mac. After finally finding a Python course that held her hand through the installation phase, the next hurdle was finding a project that was interesting to her.

Kitty terminal is about half python as well with extension opportunities and would probably be a good early project opportunity for some people.

Also, renpy is used for a number of games, including some commercial games, so modifiying an existing game would be another option. (As a side note, I wish someone would make a python point and click adventure equivalent of renpy since for being such basic games they very often have major technical issues).

Thank you for posting this. I've been meaning to get back into programming for fun recently but have been struggling to find something I wanted to work on.

We tried to solve both of these problems with https://codewithrepl.it - an ebook and set of tutorials.

Setup - use an online IDE Projects - learn by building

If she tries it I would love any feedback!

Care to share the course that helped with the install / setup on a Mac?
