 nicely summarizes material that was earlier presented in this course.  
 Made a start with Jupyter. Tried to print a Python variable in a text session.  
 Uncertain about all the documentation for Jupyter, Python, IPython. It is a lot. Maybe first view the videos in the course.

+## 17apr2020
+Since 09apr2020 did only some reading on Python. 
+Removed old versions of Python and installed Python 3.8.2 on Windows with pandas, numpy and PyScripter.  
+Also created an 'addressbook'  sqlite database with the R package `rsqlite` that also should be available with Python code.  
+Today restarted the course with checking what material to read concerning the Jupyter track.  
+Later that day also installed Jupyter but met with problems first with installing `rpy2` and later with using it.
+Apparently something wrong with non-matching versions of `Jupyter`, `Python` and `rpy2`. See [rpy2 issue](https://github.com/rpy2/rpy2/issues/682) on GitHub.
