Tutorials and Examples — Implementing QuantLib
In this series of screencasts, I go through a number of Jupyter notebooks (still called IPython notebooks at that time) that were eventually published in the QuantLib Python Cookbook.

At this time, there's no specific documentation for QuantLib-Python, except for a series of screencasts that I started a while ago (you can find them on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu_PrO8j6XAvOAlZND9WUPwTHY_GYhJVr) but which is far from exhaustive; there's just a few of them for now, and there's no definite learning path.
However, the structure of the library in Python is the same as in C++, except for some changes (like the use of std::shared_ptr in C++ being hidden in Python) that were made so that one could write more idiomatic Python code. Therefore, you should be able to use the resources listed on the QuantLib site at http://quantlib.org/docs.shtml and translate their advice to the corresponding Python code.
One thing you might run into is that not all of QuantLib is exported to Python. Again, there's no documentation of what's there; so when in doubt, search for a feature inside the SWIG interface files to check if it's exported.
Update: last year, Goutham and I have pooled our material and published the QuantLib Python Cookbook. It's still a work in progress, but it might already be useful.
Further update: as of the end of 2024, A QuantLib Guide is also available.

You will find a tutorial of QuantLib using python with simple examples here:
http://gouthamanbalaraman.com/blog/quantlib-python-tutorials-with-examples.html
I have been writing these as a means to be instructive to others going through the process of learning and working with QuantLib. If you have suggestions on what topics you would like to read, please post a comment.

QuantLib-Python Installation on Windows
You should download the same version as the version of QuantLib you installed; for the sake of example, I'll use version 1.36 which is the most recent version at the time of this writing. Once you have the zip file, extract it by executing · tar xzf QuantLib-SWIG-1.36.tar.gz This creates a folder QuantLib-SWIG-1.36; enter its Python subfolder and build the QuantLib wrappers by executing:

However, you might want to check out the QuantLib Python Cookbook instead. The material from Implementing QuantLib was originally featured as blog posts, now somewhat outdated with respect to the published book but still collected on this page. This book, available from Leanpub, collects updated posts from Goutham Balaraman’s blog and the extended transcripts of a series of screencasts that I published on YouTube.

Using QuantLib interactively — Implementing QuantLib
March 21, 2024 - Go to the QuantLib-SWIG repository on GitHub (the home of the Python, Java, C# and R wrappers for QuantLib) and under the list of files you’ll see a README file, with a row of colorful badges displayed after the title. Click on the one that says “launch binder”, wait until the environment is built (it might take a while; the binder project has limited funds and resources and is looking for sponsors) and you’ll find yourself connected to a running Jupyter instance with a number of QuantLib examples that you can run and modify.

They're in the QuantLib-SWIG distribution (you probably got that from the QuantLib site already.) Once you unpack the tarball (or the zip archive) they're in the Python\examples folder.
