A free beginner Python course from Udacity that uses short video lessons with quizzes in between. One commenter notes the version they took teaches Python 2, which is dated.

Commenters point to it as a solid, practical starting point for absolute beginners, with one calling it excellent and another saying it covers roughly a semester of college material.

    I've been using Udacity which is similar to Code Academy's quick teach and try it method and just completed the first lesson on Python. Udacity charges for a certificate and some other extras, but it's completely possible to take the classes for free.
