SICP Python

Content repository for the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (Python) course.

Overview

This repo contains course content for generating interactive video lectures:

• Reading materials (HTML)
• Module definitions (topic, outline, labs)
• Reference materials for LLM context
• Branding assets

This is a content-only repo. Generation and viewing happen in separate repos:

• mini_lecture — Generation pipeline
• scimigo-learn — Viewer application
