Advanced Python Programming for Data Science

Software Environment

The courses are implemented as Jupyter/IPython notebooks. We provide a VM with preconfigured Jupyter Notebook Server for each student.

You can also setup the software environment on your own computer.

Minimum Requirement

  • Current web browser, such as Firefox, Chrome or Safari.

Running the Course on your own Computer

We have only tested the course on Linux and OSX! Installation on Windows may differ!

  • Python3 (>= 3.4) - A sufficiently recent release of Python
    • Commonly available via package managers such as apt-get install python3 or brew install python3.
    • Also available from the Python Homepage
  • Python3 pip - Python Package Manager
    • Several package managers do not install the python package manger
    • It will be available as a separate package in this case, e.g. apt-get install python3-pip.
  • Jupyter - Evaluates and renders the notebooks
    • Available via pip: pip3 install jupyter
  • RISE (optional) - provides the interactive presentation view
    • Consult the RISE Readme
    • Available via pip: pip3 install RISE && jupyter-nbextension install rise --py --sys-prefix && jupyter-nbextension enable rise --py --sys-prefix
