Rule TitleExplanation
Be polite.
Don't insult others; everyone comes to Python with a different level of knowledge and experience, and what is obvious to you may not be obvious to them.
Posts to this subreddit must be requests for help learning python.
Please check [the FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/faq), [the index](https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/index), and [the books page](https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/books) for some commonly-requested information.
Replies on this subreddit must be pertinent to the question OP asked.
This is not the place to advertise your blog/video/guide/tutorial. Nor is it the place to try and hire someone. If you want to learn, just post a question so we can answer it.
No advertising. No blogs/tutorials/videos/books/recruiting attempts.
No advertising. This is not the place to advertise your book, video, blog, study group, company training video, bot, or really anything. No advertising, no recruiting.
