Coursera's "Python for everyone" specialization - or should I choose another course?

There is a new specialization for Casera. Is this course https://www.coursera.org/specializations/python suitable as a basis for learning based on the course table of contents or tell me more worthwhile ones.

I liked the course from the University of Toronto and the specialization from Rice University more, the Michigan course did not go.
In general, there are a lot of materials on the basics of python. There is also a course on Stepic, there are lectures from Moscow State University. Many English-language courses can be found on youtube.
The main thing is to start, and for which course or book, this is a matter of taste.

The best, in my opinion, course (in 2 parts) on Python:
1) tyts
2) tyts2
Best because Python is taught as part of a full introduction to Computer Science.
UPD: Taking into account the comment of the respected brainick about the complexity of the above series of courses, I would like to recommend Intro to CS from Udacity as the first - easier than the first 2, but also about Computer Science.

I liked the lectures from CSC , though not everything is posted there yet, since the course is still in progress.

I took a course (not a specialization) on python from this teacher on the courser. It seemed very beginner-friendly to me. Why do I need 10 minutes to explain how the if statement works? Even on more complex tasks, I got a little bored.
But the comrade here correctly said, until you try - you will not know. The Capstone of this specialization looks interesting.
