   Just finished my first !Python training for uni staff. Cool, some are now *really* stunned that they could replace expensive MATLAB. #win

     @xemacs Octave. Even less effort.

     @jasonriedy Possibly, but it's not all about effort, but about the general purpose usage of !Python as well, along with HPC features.

     @eximious Will have to see. 3-4 intro ones, and then visiting a variety of special topics, like #Jython, #cython, parallelisation, etc.

     @xemacs Or about the use of tons of existing code, which isn't in phyton.

     @jasonriedy True. But if I'm asked to do *Python* training, I'm not gonna push Octave onto them. And NumPy/SciPy stuff was to hook 'em.

     If you post your materials, I'd love to see 'em. You're welcome to anything from #openhatch, http://ur1.ca/8rxzw

     @jasonriedy On another note regarding Octave as an alternative to Matlab rather than !Python. Octave is slow: http://ur1.ca/85tzg

     @xemacs *splorfle* What a stupid benchmark. Vectorize, always.
