I have successfully (I think) coerced my students into using Scipy/Numpy for signal processing and dynamic system modeling. They are mechanical engineering coming from a Matlab background. In order to make using Python easy and have it feel like Matlab, I teach them to put
from scipy import * from pylab import * at the beginning of every script. One problem with this is that the zeros and ones functions of pylab default to integers while those from scipy default to floating point numbers. I have had several students this week beating there heads against problems that turned out to be trying to put floating point values in an array that was created using pylab.zeros. Can this be changed? Is there a better approach I should take in getting my students started using scipy and pylab together?
