Several weeks ago I was out of town teaching an on-site custom training course. While I don’t like being away from my wife and six children, I always enjoy the opportunity to teach Python and demonstrate the productivity that can be gained with the tools that are available for it (e.g. NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, Chaco, Traits, Mayavi, nose, pyflakes, sympy, IPython, …). We typically teach scientists and engineers, so our students are often well-versed in topics such as vectorization, linear algebra, and signal/image processing. We also train professional programmers, however, and with that audience the aforementioned ideas might be less familiar territory.

I really enjoy this shift in context and appreciate the opportunity to discuss software engineering concepts like object-oriented programming.
