While this comment is perfectly correct, it does highlight one of the problems with using python for scientific computing in comparison to matlab. If a newbie has a matlab problem, then they can go to a matlab forum and expect to get a reasonable answer. But if that problem occurs in python, then a beginner might need to ask their question in a python, spyder, numpy, scipy, pyqt etc. forum, and if you aren't familiar with the full tool stack and the relationship between all the parts, it could be a bit confusing (the same goes for reading through documentation). So I would advocate being forgiving of slightly off-topic questions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spyder" group.
