[SciPy-User] Scipy cookbook to Ipython notebooks

[Pauli Virtanen]

Hi,

It would be useful to have the set of code snippets currently in Scipy
cookbook (http://wiki.scipy.org/Cookbook/) be converted to a set of
Ipython notebooks. The notebook format is probably the
easiest-to-work-with format for this available currently, and I think I
prefer it over Pweave as the source format.

Here's the conversion, which was essentially done by Matti Pastell half
a year ago:

    https://github.com/pv/Scipy-CookBook

The files still need some manual tuning up --- the conversion was not
100% flawless, and there's stuff that cannot be done automatically
(replacing images with those outputted by the plots etc.). To work with
them, you can just launch

	ipython notebook

in the directory where the .ipynb files are.

I don't have the time to work on this on the short term myself, so if
someone wants to give a whirl at it, that would be useful. The plan is
to either stick these up at scipy.org, or put them up on
scipy-central.org when it gets ipython support.

Some of the examples are probably quite outdated, but it may be of
historical interest to preserve them. (A notice with a date could be
added on top of outdated content.)

Best regards,
Pauli Virtanen
