Note

Find an editor that you will be using to do your programming with. For advanced Python programming we recommend PyCharm. However you can use others e.g. Enthought Canopy on your local computer. The way you could use it is to edit python locally, push the code into github and check it out into your vm or your login node on india.futuresystems.org. This is how many of us work.
