=== Abstract ===
This webinar will cover basic setup information and common workflows for geni-lib, allowing you to interact with the GENI federation endpoints (clearinghouses, aggregate managers, and reserved resources) from a simple python interface.  geni-lib can be used for a variety of tasks ranging from interactive use to experiment-specific scripts to building full-blown generalized tools.  We will also cover the geni-lib iPython module that allows for integration of geni-lib into a browser-based experience in conjunction with other common scientific computing packages.
