What this is
CS50P is its own course and not a part of CS50x: functions, loops, exceptions, libraries, testing, file I/O and regular expressions. The certificate requires at least 70% on every assignment and a final project.
The document does not expire and carries Harvard's name. If the 100 hours of CS50x are too many, this is the version that actually gets finished while still showing you can work in the language.
Who it is for
Anyone who needs Python for a specific job: automation, analytics, testing.
