The document outlines the topics covered in a Python programming course across 5 units: basics of Python including variables, data types, operators, and input/output; control statements such as if/else, while and for loops; lists, tuples, sets and dictionaries; functions including built-in functions, variable arguments, and modules; object oriented programming concepts like classes, inheritance and polymorphism; and error handling including exceptions and file input/output. The course also references 3 textbooks and additional references for further learning.
