My Review of Python for Data Analysis

So, trying to do a little bit more with Python, I thought this would be good for various things I do at home and at work and it's a very good reference. Some people had the incomplete version but now that the complete one is out, I have to say this is worth picking up if you need to do some data analysis.
It goes through some basics to get you up and running so you can learn to use NumPy quickly. It also goes through visualization datasets using matplotlib. Having worked with MATLAB for several years, this is a great thing to know.
Overall, I would say this is a great reference to have if you're going to be analyzing a lot of data and need to use Python.
