How to code in Python: GCSE, iGCSE, National 4/5 and Higher

Python code download
All the Python code in the How to code in Python: GCSE, iGCSE, National 4/5 and Higher book can be downloaded below. You can either download the whole package full of over 300 Python files or each section individually.

The package contains:

• All the example code from each section of the book
• Every computational thinking puzzle
• Solutions to every computational thinking puzzle (with explanations)
• Solutions to every programming challenge (with comments)
• .text and .csv files required to complete some of the later tasks in the book.
