Why do 69% of people who start learning Python quit before finishing?
by•
Most people who start learning Python have real motivation. What gets them isn't that, it's getting stuck — a concept explained in a way that just doesn't click, or an error message that reads like a foreign language, with no one around to help sort it out.
Which one got you: confusing explanations, or errors you couldn't make sense of? Or something else entirely?

mypymentor.com fix this. This is actually the exact thing I built the error explainer around. It's not a paste-your-error-somewhere tool, when your code fails in the editor, it catches the traceback automatically and asks if you want a hint.
The part that matters most: it won't just hand you fixed code. It explains the concept behind the error, shows an example with different variable names so you can't just copy-paste it, and ends on a question that points you toward the fix instead of giving it to you. Slower in the moment than a fix would be, but you actually remember it next time the same kind of bug shows up.
