There were about 50 students and few faculty. While most of them had some programming experience, they were new to Python. Each participant had a separate computer to practice and learn. The presentation was perfect for the target audience. They were able to understand the Python constructs using the interpreter, and then moved on to writing Python programs with Gedit. They were able to grasp concepts quickly and implement it in Python. For beginners with no programming experience, there is another presentation available at: http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/courses/PythonAB/ Students can actually use Python for their programming lab assignments. Faculty are working on research in Natural Language Processing (NLP), and are interested in using Python for the same.
