An introductory Python programming course from Udacity that teaches using Python 2.7. Short video segments alternate with in-browser coding exercises that are checked against test cases.

Commenters remember it as a well-built course that interleaves brief theory videos with hands-on coding and automated tests.

    Udacity had a great Python course back in the day (Programming 101, for Python 2.7)

    It had vidoes and then a REPL would drop down and you would continue writing your program, test it against test cases and then a new video would go on for a few minutes explaining the theory for the next step.

    I can see why not many try and do this. It obviously took a lot of work, both technically and pedagogically to set up the course and problems.
