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

• 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
  • pip3 install jupyter
• RISE (optional) - provides the interactive presentation view
  • Consult the RISE Readme
  • pip install RISE && jupyter-nbextension install rise --py --sys-prefix && jupyter-nbextension enable rise --py --sys-prefix
