Beginning Python, Lesson 8: Extras (Shallow Thoughts)

Beginning Python, Lesson 8: Extras

Lesson 8 in my online Python course is up: Lesson 8: Extras, including exception handling, optional arguments, and running system commands. A motley collection of fun and useful topics that didn't quite fit anywhere in the earlier formal lessons, but you'll find a lot of use for them in writing real-world Python scripts. In the homework, I have some examples of some of my scripts using these techniques; I'm sure the students will have lots of interesting problems of their own.
