I figured you'd be getting the latest 3.x, but your course may well
depend on some specific minimum version, in which case you can say
something like "3.3+". But, that plus this comment...

... makes me think you're very much Windows specific here. Is that the
case? Normally, "platform" means Windows/Linux/Mac OS/etc/etc.

0.0 isn't the confusing bit; it's attaching that immediately after the
word "Python". If you called it "Python lesson 0.0" or something then
it'd be clearer.

Thank you for yours! You've made all those videos... I'm just sitting
here being an arm-chair critic and hoping that it's helpful rather
than offensive :)
