## What it is
A companion repository of bonus materials, exercises, and example projects for Real Python's Python tutorials. It contains Jupyter Notebooks and sample code organized per tutorial on realpython.com.

## Use cases
- download source code for a Real Python tutorial
- practice Python with exercises from tutorials
- find example projects for learning Python
- follow along with Real Python video courses
- explore sample code for Python topics like data structures or web dev

## When to choose
- you are following a Real Python tutorial and need its accompanying code
- you want hands-on exercises and example projects to learn Python
- you want MIT-licensed sample code from a reputable Python education source

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready library or tool
- you want a standalone course not tied to Real Python content
- you need 1:1 support, which the maintainers do not provide via GitHub

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools
- domain: education, programming-languages, tutorials
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: python-tutorials, exercises, example-projects, jupyter-notebooks, bonus-materials
