learn python

I’ve read a lot of Summerfield’s Python 3 book, and Beazley’s Python Reference, so I am getting up to speed on 3 and 2.6 a bit. This speeds up and slows down based on my dissertation work on my PhD, so it is slowing down now.

I think when I finish my PhD, I will try to write a package for statistics in Python as an exercise. Or export the apophenia library bindings to Python. (Assuming no one has done that yet!)

So this is now back on. I am sick of MATLAB and people have told me that python is a good way to go to do math software. It also interfaces with R which solves the other half of my problems.

Anyone got anything on (1) DSP in python and (2) generating 24-bit sound with it? If so, let me know!

I have decided to put this on the back of the backmost back burner. The reason is that I no longer need python. At the time I added this entry, it made sense for the system I was developing, but since then I have advanced the underlying theory of the problem I was trying to solve to the point that special (custom) software is no longer needed.

That has got to be an even better solution than learning a computer language to write a software system to do it.

I still like python, though, just don’t have the need to learn it right now.
