DESCRIPTION:\n	Python is modern\, object-oriented programming language whic
 h has become popular in several areas of software development. This course
  introduces the basic concepts of the Python programming language and how 
 it can be used effectively in high-performance computing. Fast array inter
 face (numpy)\, message-passing interface (mpi4py)\, and several other usef
 ul Python packages such as scipy and matplotlib are introduced. C extensio
 n\, i.e how to integrate code written in C directly as a part of a Python 
 program\, are also shown.  Examples include prototyping and solving numer
 ical problems with Python\, steering simulations with Python scripts and a
 nalyzing results with the help of Python.\n\n	Course consists of lectures 
 and hands-on exercises.\n\n	This course is organised by the PRACE Advanced
  Training Center hosted by CSC - IT Center for Science.\n\n	\n		Prerequisi
 tes\n	\n		Participants are expected to have some experience in computer pr
 ogramming and to be familiar with the basic concepts (e.g. variables\, sta
 tements\, control structures\, subroutines) but previous knowledge of Pyth
 on is not required. Previous experience in high-performance computing (bat
 ch systems\, MPI\, etc.) may be useful.\n\n\n	Program\n\n	\n		Day 1\, Wedn
