Python and PyStar workshops

The Python workshops are short introductory programming workshops in Python focussed on women. They are similar to the RailsBridge events in the Ruby community.

Some of the events run under the name of Python workshop and some under PyStar workshop, the latter using a forked curriculum available from the PyStar website.
