Hi,
I wonder why FCC chose video lectures for python curriculum, why they didn’t use the same way as web development material, a small paragraph and then a place to submit your code and get evaluated real time, I think it is much better.
It’s still under development

Hello there,
The Python curriculum is not complete yet. What you see now is a pre-release of the final push to complete version 7.0 of the curriculum. Read more here:
Hey freeCodeCamp contributors - soon the freeCodeCamp curriculum will be 100% project-driven learning. Instead of a series of coding challenges, you’ll learn through building projects - step by step.
Before I get into the details, let me emphasize: we are not changing the certifications. All 6 certifications will still have the same 5 required projects. We are only changing the optional coding challenges.
A brief history of the curriculum
OK - Version 7.0! Here’s a history of our curriculum ve…
Hey contributors,
Earlier today I published an overview of freeCodeCamp’s upcoming improvements to our curriculum.
We’ve come a long way since we first started work on Version 7.0 of the curriculum back in March .
Since we don’t have comments on /news currently, I wanted to start a thread here so we could discuss it.
Also, if anyone is interested in helping us design some of these Practice Projects, we still have a lot to go. We’re about to do a big update to our current GitHub Project boar…
Hope this helps

Thank you for the replay, it has been more than a year now, do you know a place when I can track their progress of the v7 project?
Best regards.
I totally agree with you, the way the Web Development is taught is much better. However, I believe it would take quite a bit of time to prepare and test to see if everything works well.

the Python curriculum was released like last month, they are progressing - how long it will need depends on how many volunteers are available to work on stuff
you can read here on how to contribute to the curriculum expansion:
# freeCodeCamp.org's upcoming Curriculum
> ### This repository is for discussing new curricula for freeCodeCamp.org
### Where can I read more about the new curriculum?
You can read all about it in [Quincy's announcement](https://www.freecodecamp.org/forum/t/help-us-build-version-7-0-of-the-freecodecamp-curriculum/263546).
### How can I contribute?
There are many ways to contribute. Check out the [CurriculumExpansion](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/CurriculumExpansion) repository. The projects are listed as [issues](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/CurriculumExpansion/issues) where you can join in on the discussion about each one. Projects with a [help wanted](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/CurriculumExpansion/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22) tag are unclaimed, so leave a comment in that issue and mention [`@scissorsneedfoodtoo`](https://github.com/scissorsneedfoodtoo) if you'd like to work on one. We'll also need help reviewing projects that have been broken down into steps and submitted as [pull requests](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/CurriculumExpansion/pulls).
### Will the UI change?
Yes, the goal is to move to a single column layout that resembles an actual code editor. You can read more about it in [freeCodeCamp Redesign: Command Line Chic](https://www.freecodecamp.org/forum/t/freecodecamp-redesign-command-line-chic/267917). Since the editor will take up the majority of the screen, things like the HTML preview, console output, and the current test you're working on will appear contextually between lines of code. Here's a rough example of what that might look like: 
### I claimed an [open project](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/CurriculumExpansion/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22). How should I build the prototype?
Use your favorite online code editor and post a link in your project's [issue](https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/CurriculumExpansion/issues) when you're finished. [CodePen](https://codepen.io/), [Glitch](https://glitch.com/), [CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/), and [Repl.it](https://repl.it/) are a few popular platforms.
### Can I use Bootstrap/jQuery/Semantic-UI/some-other-framework-or-library to build my project?
No, contributors should not use any sort of framework or library while building one of the new curriculum projects. The exception is projects where it's required like "Learn React by Building Flappy Bird". Otherwise, stick to plain ol' HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. (Note that this doesn't apply to users, who are free to use whatever frameworks/libraries they want for the Front End Libraries Certification projects.)
