PSA 8-16-14: The new curriculum for the Noisebridge PyClass is a crash course in the Python standard library, also touching on modules that are popular but not quite part of the standard modules. Scroll down to see the course list.
My boss is a very firm but fair type .. im the only female in 21 staff so flirty banter was common place with all the guys but my boss was on another level ..
the truth is i applied for the position on a whim .. i never dreamed i would actually get an interveiw let alone the job .. i had zero exsperiance and zero qualifications .. so when my boss asked me at the interveiw "if id dress like that everyday" i told him i do anyway !! ..
Call me be old fasioned but im not easilly offended by that type of thing and i really wanted the job .. i knew what i was signing up for .. although i never planned on having sex with him or anyone else there for that matter as i like to keep my work and personal life seperate for obvious reasons ..
I knew he wanted some eye candy for the office and he liked my short skirts and low cut tops so i always made sure i was presentable and in return hed turn a blind eye if i was late and let me leave early stuff like that .. it worked for both of us .. i didnt mind him flirting with me and to be honest i enjoyed the attension .. it was just banter .. hed make comments about my breasts or my legs .. one time he asked me to change a light bulb and while i was on a step ladder he looked up my skirt and then made a announcement to the whole office that "lolly is wearing red knickers" everybody thought it was hilerious and to be honest i enjoyed the attension .. he did actually slap my arse once but thats about as far as it went .. i was confident i could handle him ..
It was when he made the announcement that he was taking early retirement that things escalated pretty quickly .. during his last couple of weeks working there his behaviour became alot more brazen towards me .. one time i was bending over to get a file from the bottom of a cabinet when he past by and shouted "I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE" and grabbed me by the hips and started to comically dry hump me .. again everbody laughed but i could actually feel his semi hard cock grinding against me !!
I felt like the attitude in the office had changed towards me .. i kept noticeing him talking to the other guys and they would all look over towards me and laugh .. it was as if he was encouraging them to push the boundarys with me .. everyday when i came back from lunch id find a dildo on my seat .. or my screen saver on my pc had been changed to a big black cock .. they even locked the female toilets and said they was out of order to make me use the gents .. i was sat on the toilet when i heard the door squeek open and the guys sniggering .. i shouted for them to get out and they left .. but later that day a email popped up and when i opend it .. it was a photo of my feet under the toilet door with my knickers around my ankles .. the photo had been sent to everybody in the office .. id be lying if i said it didnt make my knickers wet .. it did but i didnt let on ..
It wasnt unsual for the guys in the office to bring little presents over to my reception desk .. cup cakes .. little flowers .. cups of coffie that kind of thing .. so when my boss came over with a group of other guys holding a tray with breakfast on it i felt specail .. They said they had all given me a hard time lately and this was to show that they all loved me really and to thank me for being a good sport..
On the tray there was a bowl of oats .. some toast a glass of fresh orange juice and a sweet little flower in a vase .. i was totally flattered and they stood and watched as i ate it .. my boss kept saying "come come lolly eat your oats" and all the guys kept laughing .. i didnt really get the joke so not wanting to look dumb i was just laughing along with them as i ate .. i finished eating and thanked them all with a hug and a kiss on the cheek and we all went back to work .. it wasnt until later when i was leaving that one of the guys ran to catch up with me .. he told me he was trying to signal to me not to eat it but i didnt notice .. he told me that my boss had past a bottle around the office through out the week and each guy had jerked off into the bottle and that they had mixed their spunk into my food !!
I was a bit offended at that point .. but i was reluctant to leave knowing id never land a job as good as that again .. i didnt mention it to the guys and i just pretended i was unaware of their little prank .. it was friday .. my bosses last day .. At the end of the day he came into the office and made a speech telling everyone what a good job theyd done and that it was a pleasure to work with them bedfore letting everybody leave early ..
He stood by the door shaking everyones hand as they left .. I kept stepping forward to say goodbye but he would blank me and talk to someone else .. it was embaressing .. it wasnt until everybody had left that he finally turned to me with big sigh and said "lolly .. my favorite receptionist .. come with me" he gestured for me to follow him as he walked off towards his office ..
I was a little bemused but i followed him anyway .. it was nieve of me but i thought maybe id get a bonus or something for all the crap id put up with ..
He told me to come in and shut the door .. i made a dumb joke and said "You cant give me a verbal warning now your technicly not my boss" ..
I felt a little silly when he didnt laugh and just told replied "shut the door" i closed the door and he walked around his desk and slid out the bottom draw and preduced a half bottle of conyac brandy "join me for a goodbye tipple?" he sat on his desk and arranged two coffie cups side by side next to him .. i said i probably shouldnt but he began pouring two drinks into each cup anyway before holding one out towards me ..
I took the cup from him and stared into it swirling it around preparing myself to drink it .. i felt a little arkward as he sat gazing at me in silence so i asked him "so what do you plan to do next?"
Again he ignored my question and clinked his cup onto mine sternly saying "cheers" before downing his .. i took a deep breath and knocked it back before exhaling the powerfull fumes ..my voice cracking as i winced "wow.. thats strong"
He took the cup from me and put it on his desk and exstended his arms for a hug .. i put my arms around him and he pulled me close rubbing his hands up and down my back as i rested my chin on his shoulder .. we pauced for a while in our close embrace swaying gently from side to side .. i felt myself starting to relax as i ran the tip of my nose along his neck humming as i inhaled and enjoyed the smell of his exspensive aftershave ..
His hands moved around to my sides his thumbs caressing my ribs brushing inches from the sides of my breasts .. he pushed me back slightly so our faces were inches away from each other .. he looked me right in the eyes as i smiled awkwardly back at him "ive always been good to you havnt i lolly ?"
I smiled and slowly nodded ..
"i looked after you didnt i?"
I nodded again and quietly replied "yeah .. you did"
he dropped his hands down to my hips .. his eyes where transfixed on my mouth as if he was fasinated by my lips .. he confidently asked me "you know why i hired you dont you ?"
I looked down at my feet briefly in an attempt to hide my contented smile before awkwardly flicking my hair and trying to stiffle an embaressed giggle "yeah .. i know"
He leant his head in closer until the tips of our noses touched and grinned as he shook his head gently from side to side rubbing his nose onto mine and whispering "my sexy little lolly dolly .. you know why your here dont ya?"
I smiled like a cheshire cat and nodded as i bit down on my bottom lip ..
he chuckled quietly as he continued "ive gotta give it to you lolly .. youve done well for a minimum wage toilet cleaner"
I just raised my eyebrows and pouted sarcasticly as he began to fondle my hips .. he tilted his head to one side to see my face and pressed me for a reply
"well ... its true isnt it?
I didnt reply and just silently smiled back at him .. you could hear a pin drop in the office it was so quiet .. he tilted his head to take a closer look at my lips staring intensely as i slowly circled the tip of my tounge around them ..
he was so calm and confident .. he leant in slowly and pressed his mouth briefly onto mine .. i resisted the urge to kiss him back as he slowly pecked at my lips ..before running the back of his hand over my flushed cheek and tucking my long blonde hair behind my ear .. he held the side of my neck with a firm determined grip and caressed the corner of my mouth with his thumb before he suddenly pulled my mouth onto his ..
It was a horny disrepectfull kiss .. It felt like my mouth was being invaded as he selfishly helped himself pushing his tounge greedily around inside .. licking and sucking at my lips .. and lapping his tounge at my cheek and chin as he gripped the back of my neck ..
He held me there and looked right through me as i visibly began to disintigrate in front of him .. my bottom lip tremberling and my breathing starting to accelerate uncontrolerbly ..
My defeated swallow seemed to echo around the office as i tried to pull my head back to escape his grip .. i was flustered and i needed a time out but he wouldnt release me .. he seemed to relish in phiscally controlling me as i looked up at the ceiling and gasped a few lungfulls of fresh air ..
I exhaled hard as he pulled me back close between his legs .. i rested my chin back onto his shoulder cringing with excitement as he whispered into my ear .. "its okay .. relax"
I tried to compose myself as he fumbled behind me with my skirts zip .. my thigh muscles tensed involntarilly at the sound as he slid it down and my skirt hung loosely on my hips before he gave it a little tugg and it fell to the floor around my ankles .. i watched his fingers in a lustfull stuper as he cofidently to unbuttoned my shirt .. he threw it over my shoulders and down my arms onto the floor with one smooth motion as i stood there disorientated as what was happening fully dawned on me .. he casually reached around me and unclipped my bra and then placed his hands on the straps and slid them off my shoulders until it fell to my feet .. he held me by my hips and pushed me away holding me at arms length ..
"now lets have a look at you"
i stood there in just my sheer stockings and black lace thong gently shaking with my arms awkwardly stiff down by sides as he confidently admired the veiw ..
He briefly massaged my shoulders before sliding his hands over my breasts and fonderling them .. i just stood there looking down at his hands as he lifted them up and squeezed them hard together before he dropped them and lowered his head .. my nipples hardend on his hot breath as he gently licked and sucked each one in turn ..
I just stood there stiff looking up at the ceiling hissing through my teeth as he suckled on one of my tits .. continiously sucking it harder and harder as he reached around and fondled my fat bare bottom squeezing the cheeks together and massaging them greedilly in a disrespectfull circle ..
he bent down and pushed his hand between my thighs grabbing my pussy and rubbed his fingers into my slit through my flimsy panties causing my juices to flow and soak through them as he continued to suck my tit he reached around with his other hand and rubbed his fingers between my arse cheeks rubbing my hot arsehole and my pussy at the same time as he groaned onto my wet breast..
"Heeeey" .. I quietly and half heartedly objected as he pushed his finger past my thong and up my arse and wiggled it inside me ..he nipped my nipple in his teeth causing me to yelp before looking up at me and pushing his finger deeper .. quietly replying "mmm you like that dont you?" I shook my head in denial as i bit my bottom lip to discuise a smile ..
He stood up straight and grabbed me by my arm and ushered me towards a office chair pointing at it and comanding me in a impatiant voice to "SIT"
I felt completely over whelmed by his confident commanding nature and immedietly obeyed him sitting on the chair and crossing my legs with my hands in my lap squinting up at him through my glasses as he stood over me and casually took out his mobile phone .. he pointed it down towards me
as i squeesed my crossed legs tightly together .. i felt my clit leaping against my wet knickers as his camera cicked and he groaned outloud "mmmm that would make a lovely screen saver for all the lads in the office" I couldnt even talk i just frowned up at him panting with a stupifed exspression .. my mouth hanging open my hips gyrating slightly agains the chair .. He stepped closer eagally snatching his trousers open .. he pushed his shorts down until his cock spang out and stood to attention right in front of my face .. my eyes were transfixed on it as he stepped out of his trousers and pants .. it was long and slender with a slight upwards curve leading to a huge swollen pink circumsized head ..
"now show me how you suck cock"
I looked up at him with a blank exspression and held eye contact as i took hold of it and slid it into my mouth .. slowly chasing my puckered lips with my hand wanking it as i sucked him half way down his shaft and back up to the tip .. he groaned and gyrated his hips desperately trying to get further into my mouth ..slowly stepping forward until his legs were apart either side of the chair while i slowly became accustomed to his taste .. i cupped his hanging balls in my hand and gently massaged them as he sneakilly took two fistfulls of my hair and began to gradually tighten his grip ..
He suddenly started to furiously fuck my mouth slamming it home .. making me to take it right down to the balls .. he held deep and thrusted his hips foward until i gagged loudly reaching and struggling to breath around his slimey shaft as he gasped loudly "aaarggh go on you little tart .. swallow it .. i know you can" he held my hair tight and dunked my my throat over and over as he growled at me .."Come on you little cock sucker .. go on deeper .. deeper .. thats it all the way in "
He squeesed my hair in his hands as he held himself deep in my throat taunting me under his breath "yeeeeah theres your qualifications right there .. thats why i hired you" my nose was squashed against his stomach as i opened my mouth around his fat shaft to desperately suck in air ..
he released me with a satisfied growl and a long rope of spunky precum and spit clung to the end of his cock and stretched across to my bottom lip .. i gasped in shock as he reached down and gathered it in his palm before smearing it all over my face groaning at me as he furiously wanked himself "mmmm you messy little bitch .. Arnt you ?? Mmm ?? Arnt you???"
I caught my breath and frowned up at him growling in reply "YEAH iM A MESSY FUCKING BITCH"
he angrilly grabbed me by arm and dragged me to my feet marching me across the office as my weak legs wobbled on my high heels .. he threw me hard over his desk "FUCKING BEND OVER"
I did as he said and spread my feet wide .. keeping my legs straight as i bent right over his desk and rested on my elbows looking back at him over my shoulder begging him patheticly through gasping breaths "oh god fuck me .. fucking fuck me"
I was a panting mess as he positioned himself behind me and i arched my back eagally raising my bottom up in the air for him .. i gasped out loud as he grabbed the back of my knickers and violently ripped them off of me .. i moaned long and hard as he finally pushed his fat tip between my soaking wet cunt lips and shoved it hard inside me ...
His finger tips sank into the soft flesh on my hips as he instantly started to fuck me hard and fast .. he grunted and growled through his gritted teeth as the slapping sound of him fucking me verberated around the room ..
"Mmm yeeeah earn it .. earn it you dirty little cow .. yeeeeah this is what happens when you dont pay attension in school .. argghh yeah thats what you get .. your gonna fuck everybody in the office arnt you ?? everybody gets a go on you dont they ?? EVERYBODY !!"
He smacked the side my of arse and thighs until they was glowing red and i squealed for mercy demanding i arswer him as he pounded me .. my thighs rippled and my tits swung violently back and forth as i whimpered in response "yeeees .. everybody"
He reached forward and grabbed a fistfull of my hair and dragged my head back so he could growl into my ear "YEEAAAH GOOD GIRL .. YOUR THE OFFICE WHORE ARNT YOU ? .
I gasped a reply as he plunged deep inside me "yeees yeees yeeeees" i felt him stand up on the tip of his toes and lift my feet off the floor to get as far up me as he could .. his hands holding the front of my thighs and dragging me tight onto him .. i felt his cock start to twitch and he suddenly exsploded deep inside me .. his shaft jumped powerfully over and over as i closed my eyes paralized by the soothing sensation of his boiling hot spunk flooding my insides .. i started to orgasm just as he pulled out .. his warm runny sperm ran out of me coating my slit .. I reached down between my legs and rubbed his greasy spunk into my clit .. whipping my fingers furiously in a little circle .. my tummy mucsles cramped as my fingers squelched into my opening and my walls contracted onto them before i melted into a long loud whimpering orgasm ..
i laid there for a few moments face down until i caught my breath slowly caressing my clit with my finger nails before I pushed myself up onto my feet and turned to face him .. he was doing up his trousers as he stepped closer to me and said "i wanna see you again"
I shook my head slowly and smiled as i picked up my clothes "i dont think thats a good idea"
He stood and watched me as i stepped into my skirt and pulled it up my legs before sighing "i thought you might say that .. well ... youve got your referance anyway" ..I nodded as i buttoned my shirt "okay thanks"
He nodded to the door and smiled "go on then you little slut ... fuck off"
I came in on monday morning ready to meet my new boss .. i noticed the guys smirking as i walked in but hey all seemed to avoid eye contact with me .. i just thought the new boss was already here and they was trying to appear professional to impress him ..
It didnt take long for me to discover why they was all smiling .. i wondered over to one of the guys and jokeingly asked him what he looked so pleased about and he showed me the picture my old boss had took of me .. hed sent it to everybody in the office ..
I never imagined hed actually send it !! .. i couldnt even talk .. i just burst out laughing i embaressment as i walked back to my desk .. although id have never agreed to him doing that in athousand years .. i have to admot .. it felt really good to be exsposed to everybody like that .. it really turned me on .. i guess he really did want me to be the office whore ..
Ive posted the picture in my uploads here .. its titled "in the office" im sure youve all seen it .. the picture i shared with you guys had my face cut off but in the origernal my face was clearly visible ..
At least i still had my knickers on right ? XXX

Class Description, Goals, and Ideal Student
The pace of the courses will be fast, and the materials will be available online 24/7. We plan to frequently repeat modules with new twists as we iterate over course materials.
A major PyClass goal is to break down the courses into independent units. In other words, you won't fall behind if you miss a week. Sounds good, right?
To best experience the course, spend a short time reviewing the course materials before you come in. If you wish to know this week's courses, please join the mailing list and send an email out to PyClass@googlegroups.com
Lessons are available on Github.
The 'ideal student' for this course can grasp the following code:
(Feel free to use web resources to look up anything you don't understand)
<source lang="python">letter_frequency_dict = {} word = "noisebridge"
for letter in word:
times = letter_frequency_dict.get(letter, 0) times += 1 letter_frequency_dict[letter] = times</source>
We use the Socratic Method
A Socratic questioner should
- keep the discussion focused
- keep the discussion fact based*
- stimulate the discussion with probing questions
- periodically summarize what has and what has not been dealt with and/or resolved
- draw as many students as possible into the discussion.
- intellectually responsible can be effectively replaced with 'fact based' for our needs.
New Student Reading
If you are new to python or programming in general here are some excellent resources:
-Learn Python the Hardway - great guide for total beginner
-Byte of Python - nice guide for total beginner and new to python
-Excellent Official Python Tutorial - 2.7.8 - great for new to python
-Learning Python 5th edition (also at sf lib) - A comprehensive guide to the language and its uses

-The docs themselves! 2.x for this class - Learn what is and how to use the standard library
There are many, many good resources for learning the language of Python and how to do awesome things with it. Those listed above are just a few based on personal experience and strong recommendations.
OS / Environment / Versions
This section is under development.
-Use EC2 to create an instance from the Ubuntu 12.04 AMI for the most well known and supported platform that will come with Python 2 installed
For the sake of our sanity we use Python 2 for this course.
