A high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design, Django takes care of much of the hassle of Web development so you can focus on writing Web apps without needing to reinvent the wheel.
Free, full-featured, and open source, Django is well documented, offering an attractive avenue for Python newbies and experienced Web developers to improve and apply Python programming skills.
This introductory presentation will show you how to set up a Django development environment as we explore the many ways you can set about learning Django.

Why invent the wheel? Over the years Python has adopted of features from other languages, skillfully designed and proven useful and effective:
Two Python mini-languages: regular expressions, and string formatting.
As a plus an intro to Tkinter, the built-in Python GUI. Tkinter is a binding to Tk, one-half of the Tcl/Tk language, developed over the last 25 years.
Python provides for the raising and handling of exceptions. An exception is used primarily for managing an error situation but is also handy in other circumstances e.g. an exception is used internally to end loop iteration.
A full writeup for this session is available here.

Welcome back to the Python presentations!
It’s been a while so first a short(ish) recap of the previous 3 presentations, including in more detail the Input And Output section of session 3. Then I’ll discuss some useful Python Tutorials. And finally, we can go on to cover some further aspects of the language.

Instructor Simon Bluck continues his popular Learning Python series, this time with an in-depth look into functions. Invaluable to people who are just getting into or who wish to deepen their understanding of this popular programming language.
See tutorial material here.
This Python Course covers what is useful to know so you can quickly and easily set about writing Python programs. (Detailed Python programming will be covered in subsequent courses.) This course is suitable for anyone, from those that may have very little computing/programming experience, to those who have already been actively programming in Python. The aim is to get everyone up to the point where they feel confident in using Python and writing useful programs.
