This is great! I will try some of these things later since all my Python work has been on Windows or on the Raspbian operating system. Since the Raspbian work was rather straightforward, it will be more of an exercise in Python-on-other-Linux.
Anyway, from my learning process so far in life, I have observed that I usually lose interest if I try to solve disconnected problems gradually increasing in difficulty.
Do you think it will be more engaging for you and for the readers if you start off with a complex problem and break down the process along with the programming language as you work on it? As an example, let us say you start off with the objective of "simulating an ant colony in Python" (I have a thing for ants, long story), or "designing a website to do X in Python."
Of course you don't have to be so specific, but having a goal in mind seems to help with motivation. When you accumulate an audience with your posts on Python and Flask, you could consider getting feedback on interesting projects that the readers would like to learn (maybe you could even have a poll?) and then break the project down into interesting little bits.
Those are the thoughts that come to me at the moment, and please feel free to ignore them. I will look forward to your future posts.
I can definitely see what you're saying with having some complex goal in mind. The goal of this series is to just introduce someone to programming Flask, from nothing. After I introduce people to Flask, I've got a few tasks planned with Flask itself.
Once I get the bare bones basic of Python down though, I was thinking about a few side tutorials. I hadn't really thought about anything in particular though, other than maybe thinking a few arcade games.
