Forget Wall Street lingo. The language Citigroup Inc. wants its incoming investment bank analysts to know is Python.

The computer-programming language will be taught as part of training classes for the bank’s analysts who start in July, said Lee Waite, who leads the markets and securities-services unit in North America. The New York-based bank is testing adding the classes to the curriculum after traders expressed interest in this type of continuing education, he said.
