<h3>Objectives and design choices for the lectures<a class="headerlink" href="#objectives-and-design-choices-for-the-lectures" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<p>Contributors should keep the following objectives and design choices of
the Scientific Python Lectures in mind.</p>
<p>Objectives:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Provide a self-contained introduction to Python and its primary computational
packages, the ”Scientific Python stack“.</p></li>
<li><p>Provide tutorials for a selection of widely-used and stable computational
libraries.
Currently, we cover pandas, statmodels, seaborn, scikit-image,
scikit-learn, and sympy.</p></li>
<li><p>Automated testing is applied to the code examples as much as possible.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Design choices:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Each chapter should provide a useful basis for a 1‒2 h tutorial.</p></li>
<li><p>The code should be readable.</p></li>
<li><p>An idiomatic style should be followed, e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">import</span> <span class="pre">numpy</span> <span class="pre">as</span> <span class="pre">np</span></code>,
preference for array operations, PEP8 coding conventions.</p></li>

<h3>Building instructions<a class="headerlink" href="#building-instructions" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h3>
<p>To generate the html output for on-screen display, Type:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">make</span> <span class="n">html</span>
<div class="newline"></div></pre></div>
</div>
<p>the generated html files can be found in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">build/html</span></code></p>
<p>The first build takes a long time, but information is cached and
subsequent builds will be faster.</p>
<p>To generate the pdf file for printing:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">make</span> <span class="n">pdf</span>
<div class="newline"></div></pre></div>
</div>
<p>The pdf builder is a bit difficult and you might have some TeX errors.
Tweaking the layout in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">*.rst</span></code> files is usually enough to work
around these problems.</p>
