PUG – Python User’s Group

Python User’ Group (or PUG for short) is an open and informal collaborative space for experimentation and exploration with the Python programming language. It is an opportunity for those interested in Python to work together virtually and find support. Whether you are looking for advice or assistance with new or current projects, looking to discuss and learn new skills using Python tools, or to join us to play around with our collection of sample datasets, PUG is your place!

PUG is open to people of all skill levels, disciplines, and backgrounds. Complete beginners to Python will find a place here. Come, and let’s learn together.

PUG is cosponsored by the MA in Digital Humanities / MS in Data Analytics and Visualization programs and the Mina Rees Library.

  • Fall Python Series: An Exploration of Research Tools for Beginners

    Posted by Chelsea Lane on September 23, 2022 at 5:30 pm

    Join the GCDI for a fall Python series exploring various research methods and tools. We will begin by introducing the programming language Python and then continue by practicing and building out core skills through various practical applications, including text analysis with NLTK, data analysis with Pandas, web scraping with Beautiful Soup, and reading data with APIs. This is a workshop series intended for beginners. Sessions will be recorded for those unable to attend certain workshops, but regular participation is encouraged. Knowledge from individual workshops will be strengthened in PUG (Python User Group) sessions, which will run every other Friday from 3–4PM (beginning October 7th). All meetings will be held online synchronously on Zoom, using the regular PUG meeting link: https://gc-cuny-edu.zoom.us/j/85456607308?pwd=aHFxTU5VTStUQTlsdTFRUnRDMkVYQT09#success

    Tentative Schedule:

    • Friday, September 30th, 2–4PM: Introduction to Python
    • Friday, October 14th, 2–4PM: Text Analysis with NLTK
    • Friday, October 28th, 2–4PM: Tables and Pandas and Python! Oh my!
    • Friday, November 11th, 2–4PM: Web Scraping with Beautiful Soup
    • Friday, December 2nd, 2–4PM: Plugging into APIs

    Meeting times will also posted on the GCDI calendar.
