This course includes a module covering how to write simple programs in
the popular programming language python. Python can be used on either
a Mac or a Windows system. You can download Windows and Mac OS X
implementations of the most recent version of python (i.e., version
2.5.1) here.
NB: if you have a Mac, you already have python on your computer. You
should check to ensure that this version isn't out of date. You can
check by typing
> python --version
at the command line.
