SciPy and DSP

Hi there,

I'm trying different alternatives in order to choose a software for 
scientific calculation, expecially for the resulution of (simple) DSP 
problems. Currently I'm using Scilab. Anyway I'd like to learn to use 
SciPy too bt I wasn't able to find any useful "for-dummies" 
documentation about DSP in SciPy.
Do you have any interesting link?

Thanks in advance!

Ciao,
Giulio

I'm trying exactly the same combination and running into the same
problems with regard to documentation and learning curve.  If you
discover anything useful, please post it here!

why not use octave?

"Python Scripting for Computational Science"
by Hans Petter Langtangen
Springer, ISSN 1611-0994, ISBN 3-540-43508-5

doesn't cover SciPy, but the underlying NumPy modules, as well as an
excellent intro to Python and the interfacing with other programming 
languages.

Did you look at the SciPy homepage http://www.scipy.org/ ?

Add that AFAIK you should also run ipython... and it can be a problem 
under WinXP (or may be not... anyway to install ipython you have to 
install a lot of other stuff...).

I'll do!
And, please, do the same as well! ;-)

The Scilab documentation about signal processing is better than GNU 
Octave's one... may be I'm missing anything? Anyway I'm using both of 
them in "parallel".

I want to be a novelist. Please tell me which colour of the pen is the 
most appropriate for writing the novels. Or should I use a pencil?

Are you sure?  Maybe I'm missing something, but I thought that the
latest distribution of NumPy eliminated the need to install all that
stuff as individual pieces.  My CD has Python 2.5.1, NumPy 1.0.4,
SciPy 0.6, PyWin32 2.10, and a PDF file called scipy_tutorial.pdf by
Travis Oliphant.

You can find the tutorial on-line at http://www.tau.ac.il/~kineret/amit/scipy_tutorial/
I believe it's pretty close to the PDF and the dates are both in
October, 2004.

You can find more of the latest stuff at http://www.scipy.org/Download

I try to be a novelist, and do something that's at least a little bit 
novel in everything I do. :-)
