Years ago, NSA released their own NSA Python training PDF . Today I created a curriculum around it

The folder contains the PDF itself along with multiple document which could be interesting on how the pdf is different from other standard python course learning structure

Here is the folder

Outdated: it mentions conda, I believe everyone should useuv.
Also, docx, really? Why not GitHub repo with markdowns?

uv and conda are not the same use case. Conda also packages non-python dependencies.

True. But I'm unsure in what context that's actually beneficial. Been doing analysis, data science, and internal business app and website development for 12 years now and have never need the extra features that conda delivers. And switching to uv has sped up processes a lot.

I love uv for pure Python projects and prefer it if possible, but I work in remote sensing/geospatial and installing stuff like GDAL or AROSICS is a nightmare without conda. AROSICS straight up has conda as the only installation option they recommend.

I've been playing around with pixi lately and it seems nice. It feels like "conda's uv".

Everyone around me still uses conda and pip.

Not sure what you mean by that. Do I actually need to avoid it?

uv was acquired by OpenAI. It has MIT license.

Some folks out there live in a black white word and believe that OpenAI id bad, therefore uv.
