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...

... makes me think you're very much Windows specific here. Is that the
case? Normally, "platform" means Windows/Linux/Mac OS/etc/etc.

> 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 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 :)
