Hello,

I think I got the basics of Ren'Py down now, but I'm looking to improve my Python skills.
Can someone recommend me a good tutorial (I prefer video) for Python?

I'm curious why you need it? Isn't basic Ren'Py enough? I just started to learn it, and it seems to me that basic stuff is enought, except maybe some complex menus, mini-games etc.

It seems to me that you need some Python if you want to include things like a timeline, inventory systems and things like that.
Plus I'm pretty interested in learning it.

Here's a playlist with some good stuff, it's a bit boring, but competent and clear. You can skip some of these like those about Flask and Django:


Here's a playlist that will show some bits and pieces in a mildly entertaining fashion:


If you already know some Python, but you want to write better, beautiful code, view all videos by Raymond Hettinger you can find:


If you want to learn by example code, then I'd suggest finding the Python Cookbook by David Beazley. If you search enough you can find a pdf online, but there's also a github repo with all the code samples
