Aim of the course -

Thanks to Python's uniqueness students will be able to apply such diversified techniques as iterators, closures and functional constructs to name just a few. Also they will learn principles of program testing and debugging and distributed version control systems (DVCS) which are essential parts of every serious programming work.
