Which Python track fits me?

I want my first developer job building websites   → Python for web
I like numbers, Excel and finding patterns         → Python for data
I work in testing or operations                    → Python for automation
I need Python for exams or college projects         → Python basics

Still unsure? Take basics first, then decide.

# If you can write this without help, you have finished basics.
def grade(marks):
    if marks >= 90:
        return "A"
    elif marks >= 75:
        return "B"
    elif marks >= 50:
        return "C"
    return "Fail"

results = {name: grade(m) for name, m in [("Asha", 92), ("Ravi", 67)]}
print(results)   # {'Asha': 'A', 'Ravi': 'C'}

from contextlib import contextmanager
import time

@contextmanager
def timer(label):
    start = time.perf_counter()
    yield
    print(f"{label}: {time.perf_counter() - start:.3f}s")

def squares(n):
    for i in range(n):
        yield i * i          # generator

with timer("sum of squares"):
    print(sum(squares(1_000_000)))
