Overall, SICP in Python 3 is first rate. I highly recommend it to anyone wanted to improve their sophistication with Python and programming in general.

The exercises and demonstrations in each section quickly build from an elementary introduction up to powerful examples accompanied by clear explanations. I especially like the explanatory diagrams.

Thank you to the authors for your craftsmanship and for making it available on-line.

I was thinking of taking "Principles of Reactive Programming" by Martin Ordesky after taking his other class "Functional Programming Principles in Scala" on Coursera. After looking at CS 61A, I am thinking of taking it instead. How long did it take you to complete the course? Also, as far as I understood you can use the grader with "--local" flag to check the correctness of your program, is that the case?

Yes. The autograder is provided with each assignment.
