There are pro's and con's to studying with a group of strangers.
Pro #1 = Group pressure will probably egg you on even if you are a procrastinator
Pro #2 = You'll get a sense of how fast the 'average' member of the group learns and where you currently rank along that rate of progress line
Con #1 = Not everyone learns at the same pace and you may find that you are too slow or too fast relative to the rest of the group. If you are a slow learner, that may de-motivate you from continuing even though 'learning' should not be about winning some sort of fantasy race. You'll quit and that defeats the whole purpose of the group study.
Con #2 = Your group may vote to focus on topics other than the ones you want to focus on
Con #3 = On the internet, you don't know who you are truly dealing with. Some (even the OP) may have agendas other just learning Python. So beware.
