<p>Have you ever been stuck with a file format that doesn't
precisely conform to your needs, found yourself doing annoyingly
repetitive data manipulations, or struggled to efficiently manage
and explore your data? Python to the rescue! Python is an
open-source and general-purpose scripting language which runs on
all major operating systems.</p>
<p>This 3-days course is addressed to beginners who want to become
familiar with writing Python code to accomplish common tasks such
as automated data parsing, basic statistical operations and
graphical representations.</p>
<p>This course will take place in <b>Lausanne</b> with rules
complying to COVID-19 situation (distance and hygiene). In the
event of new restrictions from the Swiss Government preventing us
from organizing the course face to face, it will not be cancelled
but switched to a virtual event (only for the registered
participants) on the same date.</p>
<p>Further detailed information, prerequisites and application form
are available <a
