Introduction

This is a listing of schools that are using Python in their curriculum.

I would like to confirm each of the schools below by linking to a specific web page with a course listing and/or the professor(s) teaching classes that involve the use of Python. Each listing should be expanded with a description of how Python is being used. -- KevinAltis

Need to copy info from:

• http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/pyBiblio/schools.php

High Schools

• Yorktown High School, in Arlington Virginia (Jeff Elkner)

• Gimnasio Fidel Cano, Bogotá, Colombia (Igor Támara)

Colleges and Universities

Australia

• University of New South Wales
  • Computer science taught/teaches course(s) with Python (as of about 2001)
• RMIT University
  • Computer science teaches course with Python

Canada

• University of Toronto

  • The CS department has introduced Computer Science for the Sciences, an introductory course aimed at (mainly) life sciences students.

  • CSC207H is a third-semester course that teaches several weeks of Python.

  • A few 2nd- and 3rd-year theory courses have students implement some algorithms in Python.
• University of Waterloo

  • One of the more prestigious engineering/comp-sci schools in Canada is using it officially in CS488 (Intro to 3D graphics), and I'm told there's lots of use among faculty, staff and students. I don't think they actually teach much Python, they're focused on teaching OpenGL/graphics programming, but they do wind up using it as the framework into which the students slot their code.

• Wilfrid Laurier University

  • Python is taught in the Introduction to Programming (CP104) and Data Structures (CP114) courses.
