The Coursera link might be better if

https://www.coursera.org/courses?orderby=upcoming&search=python%20programming

https://www.coursera.org/courses?orderby=upcoming&search=quality%20Code

https://trinket.io/

And once I rewrite the sc3 birthrate example for dummies like me and and
add an env as well as perhaps a simple bus tracker api call and parsing to
