The students are introduced to programming. The programming language chosen is Python. In the end, the students will be able to understand and to create themself a Python program to read various data coming from either experimental measurements (IR, cyclovoltametry, NMR, ...) or theoretical calculations (QM, MM, ...), to treat them and to print them out in a nice way (tabular, graphic, ...).
To be able to write a python script in order to read a file, treat its data and output some values in a table, a graphic, ...
The various concepts behind programming and more particularly behind programming in Python will be developed:

A list of exercices will be given to the student along the evolution of the lecture. The solutions will also be given.
The evaluation consists in a work: write a program in relation with their master work.
This program should read some data, treat them and output them in a nice way (tabular, graphic, ...)
The various aspects of the program that are required will be explained at the end of the lecture.
During the lecture, some references will be made to the official Python documentation:
