Welcome to the Computing Service's course "Introduction to Python".
This course is designed for people with absolutely no experience of programming. If you have any experience in programming other languages you are going to find this course extremely boring and you would be better off attending our course "Python for Programmers" where we teach you how to convert what you know from other programming languages to Python.
This course is based around Python version 3. Python has recently undergone a change from Python 2 to Python 3 and there are some incompatibilities between the two versions. The older versions of this course were based around Python 2 but this course is built on Python 3.
Python is named after Monty Python and its famous flying circus, not the snake. It is a trademark of the Python Software Foundation.
