Each program uses all the python idioms, they don't build on each other or anything. The philosophy is to learn coding by immersion, like how children learn their mother tongue by listening to people talking around them. They don't learn mother tongue by being taught nouns, verbs, conjunctions etc. So this is applying the same principle to programming languages.
