Python for Everybody by Dr. Charles Severance (Coursera)

No. Charles Severance designed the University of Michigan specialization for learners without a programming background, beginning with variables, loops, functions, and other basic Python concepts.

The current course materials teach Python 3. Older versions of Severance's course and book used Python 2, so learners following archived videos should check that examples match their installed interpreter.

The sequence moves from basic scripts into data structures, web-data retrieval, APIs, and databases. Assignments include parsing text, working with regular expressions, reading XML or JSON, and storing data with SQLite.

Much of the underlying material is available through the free PY4E website, including the book, lectures, and exercises. Coursera payment is mainly relevant to its managed course experience, graded features, and shareable certificate, subject to Coursera's current enrollment terms.
