<p>Practical Python for Astronomers is a series of hands-on workshops to explore
the Python language and the powerful analysis tools it provides. <em>The emphasis
is on using Python to solve real-world problems that astronomers are likely to
encounter in research.</em></p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The workshops immediately make use of the full suite of plotting,
analysis, and file reading tools.</li>
<li>Along the way elements of the Python language such as data types, control structures,
functions, and objects are introduced.</li>
<li>This is an interactive experience using tutorial examples run by participants on their laptops.</li>
</ul>

<h2>About the Workshops<a class="headerlink" href="#about-the-workshops" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The content presented here is suitable for self-study by those wishing to learn
Python for astronomy or other scientific research applications.</p>
<p><strong>A greater goal is for those knowledgable in Python to teach the workshop
series at their local institutions, adapting the content as desired.</strong> To that
end we have developed the content in <a class="reference external" href="http://sphinx.pocoo.org">Sphinx</a>
RestructuredText and hosted the source on github at
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/python4astronomers/">https://github.com/python4astronomers/</a>. Anyone interested can clone the
repository or download a tarball and make modifications needed to present the
material locally.</p>
<p>We would also welcome comments, fixes, or suggestions for improvement. This
can be done as a Github issue or pull request, or by sending email to
<a class="reference external" href="mailto:aldcroft%40head.cfa.harvard.edu">aldcroft<span>@</span>head<span>.</span>cfa<span>.</span>harvard<span>.</span>edu</a>.</p>
<p>The workshop material here was presented in the Spring of 2011 at the Harvard /
Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. A range of about 25 to 50 people
participated in the different workshops, which were 1.5 hours in duration.
Based on our experience a 2 hour slot would have been more reasonable to allow
time for the exercises and discussion.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="about-the-format">
<h2>About the Format<a class="headerlink" href="#about-the-format" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The workshop presentations are formatted as Sphinx web documents instead of the
more traditional slide presentation. This was a natural choice for the
authors who all use <a class="reference external" href="http://sphinx.pocoo.org">Sphinx</a> for Python documenation. Further inspiration was
drawn from <a class="reference external" href="http://www.sal.ksu.edu/faculty/tim/prof-day/index.html">Dumping PowerPoint in Favor of Web Sites</a>. This site
highlights by discussion and examples the advantages in using a web-based study
guide. In particular we found the non-linear format (e.g. jumping to different
sections or web sites) and ability to show longer examples were quite valuable.</p>
<p>Having full prose text results in a document which is far more useful as a
standalone study guide than presentation slides. Ironically it also reduces
the temptation to read from the screen.</p>
