Python for AI Engineers

Master the Python skills specifically needed for building modern AI applications.

Schedule

April 4 - April 11, 2026

Duration

2 Weeks • 3hrs/wk

Project

Hands-on capstone

Detailed Curriculum

3 practical sections built around live exercises.

01

Python foundations for AI work

Build the Python fluency needed for model calls, data pipelines, and backend services.

Topics covered

  • Python syntax and control flow
  • Functions, modules, and virtual environments
  • Working with files, JSON, and environment variables
  • Debugging common runtime errors

Hands-on lab

Write a small command-line assistant that reads configuration, processes user input, and returns structured output.

02

Typed data models with Pydantic

Use schemas to make AI application inputs and outputs reliable enough for real products.

Topics covered

  • Pydantic models and validators
  • Nested schemas for AI responses
  • Validation errors and user-safe messages
  • Typed contracts between services

Hands-on lab

Design request and response schemas for a model-powered content review workflow.

03

FastAPI microservices for AI

Package Python AI logic behind clean API endpoints with practical production habits.

Topics covered

  • FastAPI routing and request bodies
  • Async model calls and service boundaries
  • Error handling and logging
  • API testing with curl or Postman

Hands-on lab

Ship a FastAPI endpoint that validates an AI task, runs the workflow, and returns a typed response.
