It's a bit misleading to describe this as "algorithms in python". You'll find that the course is almost entirely theoretical (as it should be) and that there is a small implementation component for each problem set that just happens to be in Python.

does anyone know of a directory of all MIT CS lectures which may not be available on OCW? would be great to have such a list. extra brownie points for Python... :)
