What kind of tasks do you want them to be able to perform? On what OS? Will they interact with version control?
As we all know, Python tends to "get out of the way", but learning IDEs and coding habits takes a while, and learning libraries and frameworks takes a lifetime. It's very different indeed helping someone in science of finance to do stats , or to do purer library development and the odd interaction with a file. So the materials have to ensure they install the right stuff for them. _______________________________________________ python-uk mailing list python-uk@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk
