+Python is widely used in many contexts.
+This training introduces you to Python as a language suitable for
+scientific computing and data analysis.  This training is intended for
+those who have programming experience in another language, but are new
+to Python.
+
+In this training you will learn how to write idiomatic Python code, and
+follow up trainings on using Python for scientific computing and data
+analysis are available.
+
+
+## Learning outcomes
+
+When you complete this training you will be able to
+
+  * read and understand well-written Python code;
+  * write intermediate-level Python programs;
+  * have a good starting point to familiarize yourself with the more
+    sophisticated aspects of Python by practicing.
+  * know about best practices and pitfalls for Python programmers;
+  * have a working knowledge of the Python Standard Library;
