Simple guide for Python teaching. Copied a bunch of notebooks from http://introtopython.org/ Removing sections linking to python 3.3 and making notebooks python 2.7.x friendly.

To view and only read the content of the notebooks go to http://nbviewer.ipython.org/ and enter the github-url to any notebook you want to view. Enter the below url at http://nbviewer.ipython.org/ https://github.com/harph/python-class/blob/master/notebooks/index.ipynb

Else you can view the index page for this class's notebooks here.

1. Install Python https://www.python.org/downloads/ Please install version 2.7.8
2. Install setuptools / pip https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#installing-and-using-setuptools Type pip on your terminal to make sure you have installed it correctly.
3. Install ipython notebooks using the command $ pip install "ipython[notebook]" Detailed instructions can be found here. http://ipython.org/install.html

You can also install python with all the required tools using anaconda or Canopy

Here is a video showing the same. Installing and running ipython notebooks

1. clone this git repository. git clone https://github.com/harph/python-class
2. Navigate to the python class directory in your terminal and run ipython notebook
3. You can click any notebook and it will run it. From there you can click on a cell and run each cell individually.

This is a short demo of how to use ipython notebooks.
