Hi all Python noob here (I've been learning it for about five weeks in my spare time)
Codecademy can be pretty annoying, for instance some code they've recently changed has made the site painful to use in a webkit browser. I, and others, have found that pages need numerous refreshes before you can successfully submit code. I played around with their JavaScript examples at the end of the year and got disheartened after a month or so. Examples and requirements were badly explained, which meant it was incredibly frustrating to try to move through the course as you'd write code according to what you thought they wanted, which was often wrong. Right now, I'm trying the Python course because I'm getting frustrated with Learn Python The Hard Way (I really do not have the patience to type out his lengthy game examples, and I'm finding his explanations/support getting worse as the book progresses). I'm curious to see how it's going to progress. If it sucks, I'll go hunt for a new book.
