Resource type

Book

Where can the resource be found?

https://www.goalkicker.com/

What sort of content is in the resource? What areas of Python does it cover?

GoalKicker's tagline is "Programming Notes for Professionals books". They have books on most widely used languages which are written by multiple people from collected StackOverflow Documentation and the books are generally updated from time-to-time. As for the Python aspect of it, it's a comprehensive guide to Python and all of it's concepts along with some general programming concepts. It goes relatively deep into everything with around 200 chapters. The books are available in PDF format with an interactive table-of-contents (in the form of clickable links within the document and bookmarks). As of suggesting this, the most up-to-date python version listed in the Python book is Python 3.8. I've also attached a snippet of the PDF to show the kind of language they use and how it's all structured. Hope this helps! Verify Python is installed correctly

We currently already have multiple reading-based introduction to Python resources. For example "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python", or "A Byte of Python", both of which are very high value and quality.

Unless a new resource exceeds the quality of our current resources for introductions, we would be reluctant to add it to our site and possibly introduce choice overload to our users.

Understandable. Thank you for responding.
