Sample code for Positron IDE: A Hands-on Python Tutorial, revised in CMS post 2375. The positron-ide/ folder contains the sales-data preparation and analysis scripts, a Jupyter notebook, the original 5,130-row dataset with attribution and its Apache 2.0 license, and a reproducible starting environment.

The examples inspect and prepare the data, summarize its distribution, compare median retail and wholesale order values by product category, and create Matplotlib and Plotly charts. Plotly is intentionally added during the tutorial; it is absent from the starting dependency files. Notebook outputs are cleared.

This is a separate replacement proposal for the earlier bike-share materials in #822. That PR remains open and unchanged.

Validation: preparation and analysis scripts run successfully against the supplied CSV; the notebook was executed in a fresh kernel, including Plotly, before clearing outputs. Ruff 0.14.1 formatting and lint checks pass. Positron GUI steps and screenshots remain part of the article review.
