I figured you'd be getting the latest 3.x, but your course may well depend on some specific minimum version, in which case you can say something like "3.3+". But, that plus this comment... > As for Platforms, we work off the 'IDLE' text editor from https://www.python.org/ for windows, though which text editor you choose really should not matter in this course, except for the text editor. ... makes me think you're very much Windows specific here. Is that the case? Normally, "platform" means Windows/Linux/Mac OS/etc/etc. >> The use of "Python 0.0" for the videos seems likely to be confusing. >> >> It may be clearer if you put some other words with it, so it doesn't >> >> look like an actual Python version number. >> ] > > Yeah! I do agree with 0.0 being confusing, though this is just a result of the structure of the courses, because there is a 'tutorial' playlist for review and a course for beginners. Python 1.0 basically means you have started learning python, anything before that is extra information (Though also necessary). I will see what I come up with for Downloading other than 0.0 > 0.0 isn't the confusing bit; it's attaching that immediately after the word "Python". If you called it "Python lesson 0.0" or something then it'd be clearer. > Thank you for your time Thank you for yours! You've made all those videos... I'm just sitting here being an arm-chair critic and hoping that it's helpful rather than offensive :) ChrisA
