Any objective reason to suggest docs.python.org over the coursera course 
? Have you yourself taken the course and found it lacking in anyway ?

Course provides a structured format as well as time boxing, which is 
very helpful. I myself have seen the course and have interacted with 
people who have taken the course. I think its a very good suggestion. 
Both docs and courses have their place. They are different form of 
leanings.

If you prefer a more reading oriented form of learning  dive into python 
is better resource to learn python compared to docs.

This course https://www.coursera.org/course/interactivepython is quite 
good and people wanting to learn python should consider it. It is a very 
fun way to learn python. You can also interact with other people taking 
the course.
