Who this book is for
If you are a Python programmer who wants to do more than just see your data, this is the book for you. It will explain the SciPy stack (that is, NumPy and Matplotlib) and provide pointers to install them. Experience with GUI toolkits, such as wxPython, Qt, or GTK+, is also not required, so this book can be an excellent complement to other GUI programming resources. To understand the examples and explanations, you need to know basic object-oriented programming terms and concepts.
