Thanks for the info. I'm semi-resistant to ipython. I tried if for a
few hours, and it seemed a bit too much like linux. Years ago I used
linux a lot, and enjoyed it. I'll consider it. Windows is the game now.
Yes, actual use is good, but the needed imports seem a bit baffling.
scipy, pylab, matplotlib, ...? What components do I only need for a
particular use?
The videos you mentioned could be helpful.
I do not belong to any group, and my small town is a long way from any
educational resources.What I learn is from a few books, FAQs, and
recently the MPL Guide. Within a 50 mile radius, I know exactly one
other person who knows Python. He's a very bright high school student.

is the question.
As I see it, it's useful to know MatLab. A simple query with matplotlib
tutorial shows a number of hits. The first, reference to v0.99.a
documentation barely qualifies. Examples galore and a pretty minimal
introduction. In the first 10 or so hits ther's a blog and mention of a
video. The blog may appeal to some, but it seems unelementary. The video
basically asks to sign in. Who knows where that goes? I've seen a few
videos for MPL, but they all look tied into $$.
I've made some reasonable progress on MPL, but am still far short of
being confident of using it. Too much try this and see.
I know of exactly one book on MPL ( for scientists. sounds interesting).
It was published recently by a foreign author. It is not yet widely
distributed.
Your turn. Comments?

For me best way to learn is to use it actually :) Especially on
homework and projects. Mailing lists are also very helpful as you are
already doing.
Try with ipython --pylab option.
Also check SciPy09 (http://conference.scipy.org/SciPy2009/)
videos. There are one introductory and advanced tutorials that you can
see online (without registering) or downloading to your computer.
