[python-uk] python-uk Digest, Vol 131, Issue 5

[Stephen Simmons]

Hi Tony,

As you're in Cambridge, you should definitely consider Euro SciPy at the 
end of August, (both for your colleague and yourself!). The first 
tutorial day (Aug 27) has a 3.5 hour Intro to Python taught by Mark 
Dickinson, with an intro to numpy in the afternoon. Further details are 
here:

Cheers
Stephen

Enthought clearly have a local office, but their offerings are all scientific Python oriented, which isn't really appropriate. I don't know anything about any of the other companies listed there as offering training.
