Chitrak Gupta and Nihan Pol

<DIV>This workshop is intended to be a follow-up to the introductory workshops conducted through Software Carpentry (SWC) at WVU in the past years. The aim of this workshop is to cover topics in Python at a higher level than that covered in the SWC Python workshops. We also plan to cover topics that were not covered in the SWC workshops due to time restrictions.</DIV>
