    Python Koans - Learn Python through TDD

  • Might I recommend Python Koans as something to work on together? This should work just fine on a Pi as it's just using python.

  • processing

    Source code for the Processing Core and Development Environment (PDE)

  • Processing (https://processing.org/) is a cool way to learn programming, visually. It's possible to create animations and even small games. There are many tutorials, documentation and videos.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Arcade

    Easy to use Python library for creating 2D arcade games.

  • In case you're looking for more python resources, imo the best beginner resource is the arcade library since it makes graphics very accessible. It comes with a book intended for beginners which can come in useful in addition to all the other documentation/examples that exist.
