Python 101
Details
We've had a lot of new members join the group over the last few months.
(This is AWESOME!) Many of the members have different backgrounds (math, economics, finance, etc) and are considering python for solving a variety of problems. To help accelerate their efforts, we're going to do a "Python 101" meet up this December. This evening will be devoted to answering questions, reviewing some python basics, and also cover the (very) basics of sharing and collaborating on python projects with git and github.
