See link here:

Python 8.0 - for loop Running Time: 3:19

Eyn2k about Pythons for loop. If you have come from another Programming language, with a little practice you will quickly come to enjoy pythons ‘for loop’ being able to quickly give you access to individual elements one at a time.
See link here:

Python 8.1 - for loop Running Time: 4:21

See link here:

Python 8.2 - for loop - Graphics Window Running Time: 4:02

Create an image in the graphics window; this is a building block exercise for creating a graphics calculator with advanced Polynomials, Trigonometry and a check for zeros and other functions.
See link here:

Python 9.0 - while loop Running Time: 3:03

Eyn2k about the while loop in Python and how to escape from the dreaded infinite loop.
See link here:

Python 9.1 - while loop - time something Running Time: 3:04

See link here:

Python 9.2 - while loop - Graphics Zoom Running Time: 5:37

This is a cool exercise that will allow the user to click a point in the graphics window and zoom into that location.
See link here:

Python 9.3 - Mandelbrot Set Running Time: 13:04

This is one of our favourite exercises, this little practical exercise will show you how easily you can create some really cool and powerful things using only a points of check for control flow.
See link here:

Python 9.4 - Colour Creator Running Time: 8:07

Create a gridded window to a scale dependent on a variable. We will colour the blocks we click on the grid a random colour in this instance showing how to create your own colors using the graphics module. This exercise is a building exercise for John Conway’s game of life and creating board games in Python.

See link here:

Python 13.0 – Lists Running Time: 4:45

Eyn2k about list indexing and manipulation in Python. As you may see, this is a much loved variable of ours, its versatility as an object is great for quick practical use. Lists are a mutable container.
See link here:
