A Coursera course on algorithm design and analysis taught in Python, covering techniques such as greedy algorithms, divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and complexity analysis through programming assignments. It is a practical alternative to Princeton's Java-based algorithms courses.

Commenters call it an excellent option for learning algorithms right away, and one suggests it as a Python-friendly alternative to Princeton's Java courses.

   Sedgewick's class is awesome, but unfortunately it's going to be removed from Coursera in a few weeks. Same goes for the Stanford course. No one knows when, or if, they're coming back. I recently took the Algorithmic Toolbox class, and it was excellent. If you're looking for something immediately…

   Princeton algorithmic courses are in Java , since you've been learning python I would suggest to check out these course instead : https://www.coursera.org/learn/algorithmic-toolbox https://www.coursera.org/course/algo https://www.coursera.org/course/algo2 Have fun :)
