I don't think a traditional semester style will work for our org.
Condensed training is an easier sell.
So uses for python here: Mixed windows and solaris environment with more
linux making its way in.
Some of this is in use or partial use some is on the way.
Use of selenium in python for testing an angular 1.x vendor product that we
modify. I already built a library to make life easier for others to
translate the web app to the commands they know.
Some data conversion with sql alchemy to write to ms sql for reporting,
data source is extracts from a U2 DB.
Some installers for custom pieces built with py2exe at the moment.
More in the future some ReSTful api's, I am pushing for Falcon as the
framework. The front end consumer I am pushing towards angular 2/4 branch.
General scripting utilities.
