There are a number of online courses on python available , but I found this to be one of the best.Exercises were based on real life problems. Course content delivery by the Instructor was very good.

This is actually a really great start for beginners in python. I am an intermediate python developer so for me it was too basic, but still a nice refresher for all the basics that we sometimes forget.

It's really good course with interesting task and especially interesting introduction to OOP! Although, I graded it as 4-star instead of 5-star for really troublesome submission for the final project.
