Python Koans: Learn Python by making tests pass

Having watched and helped someone new to programming with this (anecdote of one), I think it's a fair introduction to Python, but not a good introduction to programming. Best if you bring at least a small amount of experience.

I LOVE THIS. Really, really, love.

I don't know, to me it seems like any amazing way to teach in a TDD fashion. It seems like you could use the assert messages to help provide clues to make it more of a learning experience as well.

I think the next step that would be super cool would be to turn it into a web app so there would be no install. Instead you'd be given the single Koan to solve and work your way through them all.

But thanks, really like it.

Replying to myself, but the comments actually seem to do a pretty good job of teaching, so my comment about adding more to the assert messages probably isn't really needed.

Looks like someone is working on a web version right now:

http://koans.pyc.io/

The page claims that it's work in progress, but it looks operational to me!

I want colors in my tests

I've got colours on WinXP with cmd.exe.

Cool spin off from Ruby Koans.

Going through it now.

good starting point for agile conscious developers to learn python. I LOVE IT!
