Essential Python Programming Techniques
In this section we will introduce a number of basic and intermediate programming techniques. Whatever language you program in you will encounter these techniques, although the details will, of course, vary. We recommend that you ensure that you are familiar with these before you progress to Special Econometric Topics .

Other Sources of Help
Python has a very active community and whenever you have a problem the best is to Google your question ensuring that the word "Python" apears in yoru search term. Most likely you will be send to either the Python documentation or a question and its answers on stackoverflow.com.
As far as I am aware there is only one dedicated source that uses Python for Econometrics (and we have drawn a lot of inspiration from it!)
- It is Kevin Sheppard's course on Python for Econometrics [1]
