These notes are based on the pure Python section (written by Thomas
Robitaille and Rory Holmes) of the `python4mpia
<http://python4mpia.github.com/>`_ , the pure Python section of the
`python4ESAC <http:/python4esac.github.com>`_ and the `scipy-lectures
<http://scipy-lectures.github.com/>`_ on Python.
