"The cards and their box are high quality. I like the card stock they used quite a bit. . . . useful for refreshing yourself on the basics of Python. If you have students, this set may prove quite useful for them."
—Mike Driscoll, Mouse v Python
"[The] cards are great. I think they really work well for getting kids thinking about one concept rather than the entire ocean of Python."
—Sean Tibor, Teaching Python
"Learning the Python programming language is as essential to today's young as knowing math, say some experts. Whether or not that's true, Python is a huge improvement over any we've tried . . . If you're curious about Python, take it for a spin."
—Joy Schwabach, Arkansas Democrat Gazette's On Computers
