Vienna Python/Astropy Workshop
==============================

These notes are for a Python/Astropy workshop held at the University of
Vienna by `Thomas Robitaille <http://www.mpia.de/~robitaille>`_ from June
1st-3rd 2015.
These notes are for a Astropy workshop held at the Institute of Astronomy of
the University of
Cambridge by `Thomas Robitaille <http://www.mpia.de/~robitaille>`_ on the
28th of April 2016.

.. note:: Please bring your laptop to the workshop!

The purpose of this workshop is to get you started with Python and learn
about Packages you can use for your research, such as Astropy.
The purpose of this workshop is to give you an overview of functionality in
Astropy, and get you started with some simple problems. There is a lot of
functionality that we cannot cover in this workshop, so I encourage you to
browse the Astropy `Documentation <http://docs.astropy.org>`_ to get a
sense of what it can be used for!

Installing Python
-----------------

Installing Python and Astropy
-----------------------------

If you don't already have a Scientific Python Installation, install the
`Anaconda Python Distribution <https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/>`_
(works for MacOS X, Linux, and Windows). I recommend downloading the Python
3.4 version (you will still be able to set up Python 2 environments if
(works for MacOS X, Linux, and Windows). We recommend downloading the Python
3.5 version (you will still be able to set up Python 2 environments if
needed).
