In this directory: - Course.odp & Course.pdf: the presentation I did - ipythonrc-astro: the "astro" profile file that I created. You will have to copy it in the directory: $HOME/.ipython and then call "ipython -pylab -p astro" to start ipython within this "astro" profile. - main.py & object3d.py: an example of a main file calling the module object3d where an object definition is done and also a function definition. - PracticeX.py: all practice commands shown during the presentation (corresponds to slides: "In practice X:") - Practice1.txt: used by Practice1.py command as an input. - Practice3.Catalog.fits & Practice3.Map.fits: used by Practice3.py commands. In the Help directory: - Numpy/Scipy/Pyfits/Pylab books or tutorials: .pdf files - Arrays.html list all ndarray methods to manage vectors and matrices. - Pylab_examples: subdirectoy with python scripts example of plotting functions: use them with the command "python example.py" In the Install directory: The libraries to compile and install all python modules. You have to start by reading the page: http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy and following instructions.
