Then the "Python Summer Course" [1] might be for you. There are two parts to this course: * a two-day course "Introduction to Python" [2] for people with programming experience in other languages and * a three-day course "Python for Scientists and Engineers" [3] that introduces some of the most used Python tools for scientists and engineers such as NumPy, PyTables, and matplotlib Both courses can be booked individually [4]. Of course, you can attend the courses without registering for EuroSciPy.
