This free, non-credit, low-pressure course series is an introduction to programming in the Python language. Python is a recent, general-purpose, high-level programming language. It is free, object-oriented, very clear and readable, runs just about everywhere, and has interfaces to almost everything. For more information, see the Python page in the TCC help system.
