These notes maintain the spirit of SICP by introducing the features of Python in lock step with techniques for abstraction design and a rigorous model of computation. In addition, these notes provide a practical introduction to Python programming, including some advanced language features and illustrative examples. Learning Python will come naturally as you progress through the course.

The disciples of Guido have taken over the temple of SICP, this is a dark day indeed.

The cryptic notation w[::-1] enumerates each letter in a word, but the -1 says to step backwards.
Nice introduction.

I can't wait until they get to the section on interpreters. Dat syntax.

Scheme is a nice Turing tarpit, but it is almost impossible to make useful programs with it. While it is still worth learning for some, much like old greek or latin, students have been frustrated with this total lack of usefulness.

Students should shut the fuck up because they don't know fucking nothing, that's why they're students.

Well, the present, the future and even the past are not in a language in which no programs longer than 100 LoC have ever been written.

ONE WORD: THE FORCED INDENTATION OF STRUCTURE AND INTERPRETATION OF COMPUTER PROGRAMS.

But I wrote yesterday 200 LoC of Scheme.

Then your program is probably erroneously designed.
