Pre-Conference Courses
----------------------

Would you like to learn Python or about some of the most used scientific
libraries in Python? 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.
