Best python newbie friendly community?

[I wear slippers]

Stackoverflow banned me. They are so f^5cking strict there. I didn't even get chance to learn the ropes of how things worked before the all powerful dweebs banished me for eternity.

The reddit one seems more agreeable so far.

Any others?

I just watch YouTube videos and ask questions in comments

Here's a good video about Python

That would take weeks to get a reply if at all. Yes the videos are great and I use them but hoping to get feedback from comments is one of the worst ways I can think of. You might as well send them letters in snail mail Maybe sometimes youd get a quick reply but certianly not reliable.

Check out the groups on FB. They're pretty helpful. The IRC channel as well.

If you're just starting to learn, I would suggest MIT's 6.00.1x as well on edX, or if you're a super n00b, University of Michigan has Programming for Everybody, all python, as well.

The Reddit community in /r/LearnPython is good as well. There are a couple guys that run an 'auto-answer' bot for simple questions too. They're not GREAT but they do provide some helpful tips.

yes reddit is my main resource currently.

I am curious. What was that you were doing that you got a hammer from stackoverflow?

Judt asking noob questions.

You get downvoted for stupid stuff like the slightest spelling error.

The Python Voat community is decent but growing:

...The IRC channel as well...

The IRC channel can be a bit rough. When asking questions you need to be clear, concise and had better made attempts to solve things on your own before posting.

Honestly, I think you should try levelling up your Python skills before posting "noob" questions on Stackoverflow.
