Python - Because It's Better workshop Oct 10-12 led by Natalie Hinkel (Postdoc, NExScI) and Tim Morton (Graduate Student, Astronomy).  We will prove to you why python is great, show you how to set up and install, and walk you through important astronomy-oriented tools like plotting and data analysis in hands-on sessions.  Essentially, we will give you the tools to go out into the world and be a python-coding machine.  And for those of you with working IDL/Fortran/etc. routines that you don't want to re-write, there are python-wrapping modules that incorporate what you've already done!  No more reinventing the wheel!! Workshop Schedule (held in Cahill 219): Wed 10/10: 11a-12p -- Introduction Thurs 10/11: 1p-3p -- Plotting Fri 10/12: 12:30p-2:30p -- Data Analysis
