Course Description: "Python is a general-purpose programming language used in different fields of research. In this 3h workshop, we will explore several powerful features of Python, often left out of introductory courses. Topics will include generators, comprehensions, map/filter functions, and some of the most useful modules in the standard library. To fully take advantage of this lesson, you should have a solid understanding of introductory concepts of programming in Python (variable types, for-loops, conditionals, and functions). If you are not sure you meet this soft requirement, feel free to reach out to the instructors and ask!"
