DESCRIPTION:Most introductory Python books and online resources like w3scho
 ols.com try to be complete when a new concept is explained. This does not 
 always work well for beginners. E.g. if you have just grasped how a while-
 loop  works\, it may cause too much cognitive load to also understand the 
 break and continue options\, let alone the else clause.\nThe learning psyc
 hologist Jerome Bruner introduced the term "spiral learning". The idea is 
 that you don't teach all aspects of a new concept\, but just enough to use
  it. At a later stage a teacher can revisit the subject and explain more d
 etails\, when a student needs this to take the next step.\nSpiral Python i
 s a road map of subjects that can be found in any introductory book or onl
 ine resource about Python\, but absolutely original in the sense that it t
 akes into account how people learn in a natural way. You do not need to kn
 ow the whole language before you can use it. Spiral Python also contains e
 xercises (to practice) and challenges (to motivate).
