Does Python on IBM i have a practical use or is this just a solution looking for a problem? In this session we will explore the typical use cases for Python in the open source community and apply some to IBM i. In addition, specific IBM i centric use cases will be explored to give the attendee the opportunity to judge for themselves how to best leverage Python in the combined open source and IBM i space.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn how Python is used in Open Source environments.
2. Explore how Python can be exploited in IBM i centric environments
3. See several examples of open source Python applications in action
