Practical Python for Astronomers is a series of hands-on workshops to explore the Python language and the powerful an*lysis tools it The following topic is based on packages that are not being actively developed and have been superceded. However there are still useful The workshop schedule is as follows. Except for the first introductory session all workshops are hands-on and participants should bring a The content presented here is suitable for self-study by those wishing to learn Python for astronomy or other scientific research. A GREATER GOAL IS FOR THOSE KNOWLEDGABLE IN PYTHON TO TEACH THE WORKSHOP SERIES AT THEIR LOCAL INSTITUTIONS, ADAPTING THE CONTENT AS. We would also welcome comments, fixes, or suggestions for improvement. This can be done as a Github issue or pull request, or by sending 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. The workshop presentations are formatted as Sphinx web docu*ents instead of the more traditional slide presentation. This was a natural 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. Having full prose text results in a docu*ent which is far more useful as a standalone study guide than presentation slides.
