[Matplotlib-users] newbie, please give me some pointers where to start for the shown graph

[Benjamin Root]

Dipu,

I think you would benefit from Software Carpentry lessons to give you a leg
up. It is geared towards scientists, but it should be useful none-the-less:
http://software-carpentry.org/lessons/

My personal recommendation for a book is O'Reilly's "Learning Python":
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920028154.do. I read this book during a
4 hour plane ride. I got on the plane with no python knowledge, and I came
off the plane with enough knowledge to understand the examples posted
online and ask specific questions on mailing lists.

I hope these suggestions are useful!
Ben Root
