The Project
This project is intended to give the students skills and practical experience of developing software in the Python language. This will be achieved by carrying out a number of exercises from the book Learning Python by Mark Lutz and David Ascher. The students are divided into two groups one group aiming to cover a chapter of the book every two weeks, and a slower paced group covering a chapter every four weeks.
Python-project mailing list
The project takes place using a mailing list for communication amongst the students and mentors. The email address for the list is Python-project AT accu.org the list also has a web page for viewing archives and changing individual preferences, which can be found at http://www.accu.org/mailman/listinfo/python-project
