This course aims to prepare people with no experience with Python for courses that make use of Python, like the spatial data analysis course or the machine learning introduction. It will not  teach you how to write Python scripts from scratch, but it will give you enough background knowledge to understand the Python scripts that are used in the advanced courses and to adjust them according to your needs. If you want to thoroughly learn Python so that you can write scripts from scratch you should follow our extended Python introduction course.
