Hi Tony,
As you're in Cambridge, you should definitely consider Euro SciPy at the
end of August, (both for your colleague and yourself!). The first
tutorial day (Aug 27) has a 3.5 hour Intro to Python taught by Mark
Dickinson, with an intro to numpy in the afternoon. Further details are
here:

Cheers
Stephen

A colleague at work has asked me if I know of any good Python training courses.
He's got some C++ and Python experience (he knows about classes and
inheritance, seems to be competent with dictionaries, I'd say he's beyond
beginner in Python, although I'm not sure if he'd agree), and has potential
approval from his boss to go on a training course if he can find one.
We're based in Cambridge, so London is also a sensible option.
We had a quick look at the python.org wiki page on training (it has Russell
Winder and Michael Foord listed - I thought Michael was doing something else
now?). Enthought clearly have a local office, but their offerings are all
scientific Python oriented, which isn't really appropriate. I don't know
anything about any of the other companies listed there as offering training.
I *think* an existing course would be more useful than something done in-house
specifically for us, since I don't know if there'd be more than one person
interested (mind, I haven't asked yet).
So, any suggestions/recommendations would be gratefully received, on or off
list.
Tibs
