Python crash course

These are class notes from a Python crash course I teach to my friends and colleagues. I assume little to no prior coding experience, however these notes are not intended as stand-alone material. These are explained in class and normally supplemented with in class exercices and problem sets.

Introduction
Installation and hello world
Primitive types
Variables
Conditional structures
Functions
Modules and packages: a quick and dirty primer
Lists
Ranges
Revisiting strings
List comprehensions
Tuples
Dictionaries
Sets
Reading from and writing to a file
Exceptions
The datetime package
The random package
Revisiting functions: *args and **kwargs
Decorators
Creating our own data types
Advanced object-oriented concepts: inheritence and magic methods
The incredible power of regular expressions: the re package
The os package
Creating and installing our own packages
String formatting: beyond the str.format() method

Part 2: applications
