Re: [Matplotlib-users] matlab, idle, interactivity and teaching

[Giorgio L. <gio...@ch...>]

Thank for all the reply.
I will sure have a look at the video that Oliver suggest and I also 
downloaded Eclipse.
I'm "happy" that someone also shared my problems in teaching python.
I'm aware that python/scipy were not started as a clone matlab (well 
matlibplot was started as something similar ;)
and also that they should be taught as an language (and that's why I 
prefer to use it an not to shol very useful programs like OCTAVE od 
Scilab.. it's better for students to hava a curriculum with a true 
programming language than with a metalanguage).
I have to admit also that if someone there sooner or later would create 
a workspace similar to matlab (with paste and copy, and more interactive 
feature without tweaking too much) a lot more people would be glade to 
replace their matlab with scipy/matplotlib.
