Build & Ship Real Python Projects
Stop tutorial-hopping. Start building. Join our popular Snipster cohort to learn Python the real way — by shipping your own app in 6 weeks.
Designed for intermediate Pythonistas who want to work with Git, CLI, FastAPI, testing, deployment, and more — with mentorship, structure, and results.
What You Build in the Snipster Cohort

Why Developers Love This Cohort
Developer Tooling: I feel like my fingers are dancing across my keyboard after learning vim shortcuts, tools like fzf and ag, and little unix features like “ctrl+z and fg” to switch between vim and terminal. I love how the pre-commit setup is making my code clean for me; and the extra error messages from ruff have helped me learn more best practices.
Accountability: I have a long list of unfinished projects. I start something and make decent progress. But then perfectionism keeps me on one feature until I’m burned out. Or I get “shiny-new-toy” syndrome and re-start with the whole thing with the latest framework. This project has been different. In less time, I’ve completed more of an project than ever before. The constraint of 6 weeks has pushed me to keep going, and the regular check-ins with Bob and the cohort have kept my motivation high. 🚀 — Kishan P, Data Engineer (Snipster Cohort 1)

Meet Your Coach
I'm Bob Belderbos, co-founder of Pybites and your guide in this cohort. I've helped 100s of developers stop tutorial-hopping, build real apps, and grow into confident Python developers. Let's do the same for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
🔍 Program Overview
Is this like a typical course?
No — this is a mentor-led, project-based cohort. You’ll build and ship a real app with live calls, support, and community accountability over 6 weeks.
How is this different from your 1:1 coaching?
This is a small-group experience (max 8 people) with live group calls and async support. Our 1:1 coaching is more personalized and intensive.
🧠 Readiness & Expectations
What Python level do I need?
This cohort is for intermediate Pythonistas. You should be comfortable with functions, basic OOP, and using the terminal. Not sure if it's the right fit? Check the Readiness Checklist (PDF) or book us in for a quick chat.
What if I fall behind?
No stress — we record all calls and provide async support via our private community. You’ll always be able to catch up and get feedback.
How much time do I need each week?
Plan for ~6–8 hours per week: live sessions + solo project work. The more you put in, the more you’ll grow.
💻 Project & Collaboration
Do I need my own project idea?
Nope — Snipster is a well-scoped app you’ll build from scratch with guidance, while still leaving room for personal touches and extensions.
Do we work solo or in teams?
You’ll build independently, but you'll be surrounded by peers and get support from the Pybites team throughout.
Will this help me build my portfolio?
Absolutely. You’ll walk away with a working app on GitHub, complete with tests, documentation, and a story you can share.
