We will provide you with some basic projects to get you up and running. You can then modify and extend them to implement your own ideas. Don’t worry, we’ll have some suggestions as well!

Python 2 is end-of-life in January 2020. There are a bunch of Mac admin tools that will need to be converted to run under Python 3 before the end of the year. Perhaps you have some Python tools of your own that need to be ported to Python 3. As part of the MacAdmins Hacker’s Cabin, we’ll be working together to help get some popular Mac admins tools ready for Python 3. Or bring your own Python 2 code and work with others to help you get it ready for 2020 and beyond.
