Real Python

We founded Real Python in 2012 to provide online Python education. Each month, over 3 million people visit realpython.com for tutorials, books, video courses, custom learning paths, and interactive code challenges. We publish new material weekly.

Our content is created by Python experts. We teach Python through practical, hands-on projects, helping beginners learn fundamentals, intermediate developers solve real problems, and advanced users explore specialized topics.

We also offer tools like AI-assisted guidance, reference materials, a dictionary, and group coaching. You can also find the Real Python Podcast, weekly coding challenges, and a community chat to help you learn and apply your skills.

We started Real Python because we wanted a practical Python resource that we wished we had when we were learning. Our initial philosophy was to teach Python through hands-on projects that solve real problems.

In 2017, we aimed to make Real Python the best and most comprehensive Python learning resource available. We wanted to build a platform that respects your time and intelligence.

Our core beliefs are:

• The best way to learn Python is by writing real code.
• Quality is more important than quantity.
• Learning should be broken into manageable steps.
• A supportive community makes a difference.
• Every tutorial should offer something immediately useful.

We are a 100% remote, distributed team of 11-50 employees. We value continuous learning, feedback, and professional growth.

Our team members work with editors to make sure our content is clear, well-toned, and useful. We constantly improve our written tutorials and video courses through detailed feedback.

We are united by a common purpose and create a culture where Pythonistas can connect, share challenges, and celebrate successes together.
