Laptops for the exercise classes will be provided.

VirtualBox Appliance

If you want to use the same system as installed on the laptop computers during exercise we provide it as an image. The image can be used with the VirtualBox hypervisor. There is a version for Linux, Macintosh, Solaris and Windows.

After installing VirtualBox you can download the Python-school appliance. (2.1 GB file!)

In VirtualBox there is a wizard to import existing appliances:
File -> Import Appliance.

Depending on your host computer you probably want to change some settings like RAM, number of cores, etc. Do this before you start the VM.

Please note that this image is only for testing and not for real work. We did not test it extensively and cannot guarantee that it will work reliable for productive work. Use it at your own risk!
