Learn Python by actually writing it. PyMentor is not a video course. You write real code from the first lesson, run it, and get feedback that explains what went wrong and why โ€” not just a red cross. WRITE AND RUN REAL CODE A built-in editor with syntax highlighting runs your Python and shows the output, right there. No setup, no installing anything. AI THAT REVIEWS YOUR CODE Ask for a review and get specific feedback on what you wrote: what works, what could be clearer, and what a more experienced developer would do differently. A COURSE THAT MAKES SENSE Modules that build on each other โ€” variables, data types, operators, control flow and beyond. Short lessons, hands-on exercises, and quizzes that check you actually understood. REVIEW WHAT YOU FORGET Spaced review brings back what you learned days ago, right before you'd forget it. That's the difference between finishing a course and knowing Python. DAILY CHALLENGES A new problem every day, graded on the server. Build a streak and keep it alive. LEARNING THAT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE HOMEWORK Earn XP and PyCoins, unlock achievements, customize your profile, look after your study pet, and see where you stand on the leaderboard. PYARCADE Three games built into the app โ€” Snake, PyBlocks and Flappy โ€” for when your head needs a break. IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH The entire course, not just the menus. PYMENTOR PREMIUM An optional subscription that unlocks: - 80 AI reviews a week instead of 4 - 160 code runs a week instead of 8 - No ads, and recover missed challenges without watching any - 100 PyCoins every week, 20% off the store and a bigger check-in bonus - Exclusive cosmetics and animated avatars You can learn the entire course for free. Premium removes the limits. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before, from your App Store account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple, not by PyMentor.
