Course Request for Python (Django)

Just wanted to say that treehouse is awesome and everytime i visit it, i get excited like a kid visiting a toyshop over and over again. There is just about everything to get (even the most advanced) developer's hungry. But i feel there is a huge gap left with out Python.

It is one of the top 5 server side languages used now a days and no creative website (that i know of) is offering Python. I know you will have to eventually do this course after some time, so why not now? Plzzzzzzzzzzz you have to do this one.. :)

Hands up everyone who want to see python in the library soon!

Cheers

Rhys Yorke thanks for the welcome! Did you attend my tutorial at PyCon or did you watch it on YouTube?

Kenneth Love , I wasn't able to attend PyCon this year unfortunately due to prior commitments, so I ended up catching it on the PyCon 2014 YouTube channel. http://youtu.be/KZHXjGP71kQ

Very excited! Got a rough ETA on when we can expect your first course? :)

(And thanks for the YT link, Rhys.)

We're aiming for a mid-to-late summer release for the first Python course. We have a lot of things planned, though!

Excellent! Will you be focusing purely on Python and Django, or will you be tackling other frameworks like Flask?

The job description was Python and Django :) but I'll be covering as much stuff as possible, just maybe not in the beginning.

I'd love to be able to cover Flask, PyGame, some of the scientific and GIS libraries, and even a course on releasing software through PyPI. We'll see, though.

Kenneth Love, curious if any of the more advanced python classes cover GIS libraries or is this still in the works?
