Live Python and Pandas sessions every month, included with a LernerPython membership. Five of them in August 2026 — the program has been growing, and this is the biggest month yet. You show up, you ask questions, I answer them.
What runs every month
With a LernerPython membership:
- Python office hours — bring whatever you are stuck on.
- A Python special lecture — one topic, in depth.
- An AI session — new from August 2026: using AI tools in real Python and data work, not toy demos.
With LernerPython + data, you also get:
- Pandas office hours — the same, for data analysis.
- A Pandas special lecture — likewise.

What it costs
LernerPython is $400 a year, or $40 a month, and includes three live sessions a month. LernerPython + data is $500 a year, or $50 a month, and adds the two Pandas sessions.
At the full five sessions a month, the annual price works out to about $8 per live session — with someone who has written two Pandas and Python books for Manning, and a third for O’Reilly. The extra $100 a year for the data tier buys 24 more sessions, which is closer to $4 each.
And it is not a recorded course you watch alone. You can ask about the problem in front of you, and get an answer about that problem. If you cannot make a session, the recording is waiting.
Joining
Sessions are included with any LernerPython membership. Members get the calendar invitations, the live sessions, and the recordings.
