Hi Ryan, I use VMware server on my linux box to host several more linux images. I will see if I can whip you up a Ubuntu Feisty i386 image with the "big 4" - numpy/scipy/matplotlib/ipython. If I understand their docs correctly, I have "virtual appliances" for previously existing images already

No, the nth index of a Python sequence is a[n], where n starts from zero. Thus, if I want the nth dimension of array a, I want a.shape[n]. I reverted the page to its original form and added a couple explanatory comments about zero vs one based indexing. dmitrey wrote: > now there is > MATLAB
