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:

High Schools

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
  • University of Queensland

Bosnia and Herzegovina

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.

  • Cégep du Vieux-Montréal
    • Used for Advanced Web Development course (420-B63-VM)
    • Note: Cégeps are collegiate level schools giving a 2 year pre-university program or a 3 year professionnal program such as Computing Technology

  • Simon Fraser University
    • Python is used in CMPT 120 (Intro to CS and Programming I). This course is designed for new Computing Science majors with little or no programming background. Other students throughout the University are also encouraged to take this course for breadth.
    • Python is also used to introduce server-side web programming in CMPT 165 (Intro to the Internet and WWW).
    • Several more specialized courses use Python as well. This includes web systems, computational linguistics, and others.
  • Université Laval
  • University of Alberta
    • Python is used in CMPUT 174/175 (Intro to CS and Programming I/II). This course is designed for new Computing Science majors with little or no programming background. Other students throughout the University are also encouraged to take this course for breadth.

China

  • Zhejiang University
    • Python is selected as the programming language for project of Digital Asset Management course 2011.
    • Course Information: Digital Asset Management 2011

Finland

France

India

Portugal

  • University of Évora
    • Python is used in an Introduction to Programming course
    • The book adopted for the course is the Downey book: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python
    • The main objective for the course is to help students to understand the basics of programming, thus using Python as a tool to accomplish this goal.
