Many thanks for your responses.
I agree with the fact that methods implemented in python are definitely
easier to read. This a major advantage for education purpose.
On the skimage home page, there is a 'Related project' box. Don't you think
that it would be interesting to add these explanations on a dedicated page?
Even the overview (see http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/overview.html) is
very light on the topic.
Came across this awesome tool today, and since we're all using markdown for
GitHub anyways...
https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here
This allows you to write markdown in an e-mail or in Google Groups:
import skimage
print skimage.__version__
