Weekly learning mix (working professional in Noida)
Sat-Sun    live or classroom batch (structured lessons)
Tue, Thu   1 hour practice on class topics
Monthly    one local tech meetup or online community session
Ongoing    one personal project pushed to GitHub weekly

# First-week setup
python --version                 # 3.10 or newer
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate        # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install --upgrade pip
git --version
# Create a GitHub repo called python-journey and commit daily

# attendance.py — small, tested portfolio piece
def attendance_percent(present: int, total: int) -> float:
    if total <= 0:
        raise ValueError("total classes must be positive")
    return round(present / total * 100, 1)

# test_attendance.py
import pytest
from attendance import attendance_percent

def test_normal_case():
    assert attendance_percent(18, 24) == 75.0

def test_invalid_total():
    with pytest.raises(ValueError):
        attendance_percent(5, 0)
