Look forward to seeing where this goes.

My girlfriend asked me to teach her Python - she's doing her masters in statistics, so she's coming from an R/SAS background.

Apparently Python is useful to know in the investment banking arena, which surprised me.

Yes, the SEC has recently suggested that all banks encode their financial calculations in Python.

But, tell your girlfriend that if she ends up working for a bank I will cry and take my book away from her. :-)
