Hi. Please do more of these videos.
I know that there are a lot of videos out there doing python courses, but your way of explaining python concepts is exceptional. You're like a perfect version of an educator. This concerns manner of speaking, succinctness, limited code (snippets) and choice of topics.
I'd love to get an introductory up to intermediate level python course from you.

Thanks for making these awesome videos.

Really good and simple video! Great content! Maybe you can make a video about clean architecture?

[SpaghettDev]

once again, another great tip! Keep it up!

Love your videos, they're a life saver! What is the song that you use in those shorts, I wanna listen to them!

I found some really useful videos from you. Good explanation, interesting ideas. There are new things for experienced developers also.
But I do not like is this format. I think normal landscape videos with the conventional controls are much more preferred.

Are variables not block scoped? In JavaScript they are, but in Python are they only function scoped then?

@ArjanCodes Hello can you make a short video about Python Guard clauses please!

[stephenlew]

Can you please cover vectorisation? I have been searching forever but can't seem to find any resources that explain it clear and simply.

The trouble with a script file that you want to work as both an executable and a module is you have to give it a name ending in .py for the latter purpose. Whereas on *nix systems, it is common for executables to not have extensions, because why should the user care what language the program is written in?

Make sure new ppl know that the Main method has nothing to do with if name == main

[tooru]

so _main would be even better than main?

[benhbr]

This makes sense and all, but I *really* don‘t like the extra level of indentation. Why not write this:

If __name__ != „__main__“:
sys.exit()

# unindented main code

do you mean circle object at 0:14 not class, cant you create new circle objects anywhere in the script ?
