+Basic Python Workshop
+=====================
+
+This document is intended to be handed out at the end of the workshop. It has
+been designed for Engineering students who are Python beginners and have basic
+programming skills. The focus is on basic numerics and plotting using Python.
+
+The system requirements:
+  * Python - version 2.5.x or newer.
+  * IPython 
+  * Text editor - scite, vim, emacs or whatever you are comfortable with.
+
+
+
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+  The Python programming language was created by a dutch named Guido van Rossum.
+  The idea of Python was conceived in December 1989. The name Python has nothing
+  to do with the reptilian, but its been named after the 70s comedy series 
+  "Monty Python's Flying Circus", since it happens to be Guido's favourite 
+  TV series. 
+  
+  Current stable version of Python is 2.6.x, although Python 3.0 is also the stable
+  version, it is not backwards compatible with the previous versions and is hence
+  not entirely popular at the moment. This material contains material pertaining 
+  to the 2.6.x series.
+  
+The Python Interpreter
