Course Outline

What is missing from Python: The Language Fundamentals is what makes Python a language that is …

• interesting

• powerful

• beautiful

To meet this goal, this course covers some advanced language features which you won’t be able to do without once you got used to them.

Here is an outline of the course; see the course material for more detailed information.

• Object orientation: inheritance, interfaces, or only ducks?

• Exceptions

• Comprehension expressions: how to cram all in one line and still be readable

• The with statement: context managers

• Towards decorators: *args, **kwargs, and closures

• Generators/yield: for is (much) more

• eval and exec

• Multithreading

Prerequisites

Attendees should have an understanding of basic python, as if they went through the course Python: The Language Fundamentals.
