For consistency purposes, note you can't actually run the numpy examples as listed. That doesn't make things broken, but This line: >>> import numpy as alias could correct some of that - examples use np, so make it >>> import numpy as np or else just spell it out as numpy in the examples. The "Selecting NumPy Elements" section might be better if you showed outputs. your current 2-d line won't work on the example data you give. In "NumPy Array Operations", you could save a line of precious real estate here: >>> x = my_array > 3 >>> x array([False, False, False, True], dtype=bool) By not assigning-then-printing (the other examples don't do it): >>> my_array > 3 array([False, False, False, True], dtype=bool) Cheeers! ___ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www

Hi Karlijn, The value of a Wiki is that it's user-editable. You have to create an account, then let us know what it is and we can add editing privileges. This looks like halfway reasonable content, but it would be MUCH better to link straight to the cheat sheet. Sending them through a landing page smacks of advertising, which is definitely not approved of in our informational pages. Having said which, there is also a Python Training page, where you might find an appropriate place to publicize your courses. It's a long time since I visited it. regards Steve PS: The usual abbreviation for "third" is "3rd", but the cheat sheet uses "3d". Also the line reading "x = my_list > 3" should almost certainly read "x = my_array > 3". Errors like that really reduce the value of the content, and make the authors seem unreliable.
