Jupyter notebook content for my OReilly book, the Python Data Science Handbook
This repository contains the full listing of IPython notebooks used to create the book, including all text and code. The code was written and tested with Python 3.5, though most (but not all) snippets will work correctly in Python 2.7.
See also the free companion project, A Whirlwind Tour of Python: a fast-paced introduction to the Python language aimed at researchers and scientists.

The code in the book was tested with Python 3.5, though most (but not all) will also work correctly with Python 2.7 and other older Python versions.
The packages required to run the code in the book are listed in requirements.txt. To install these using conda, run the following at the command-line:
$ conda install --file requirements.txt
To create a stand-alone environment named PDSH with Python 3.5 and all the required package versions, run the following:
$ conda create -n PDSH python=3.5 --file requirements.txt
You can read more about using conda environments in the Managing Environments section of the conda documentation.
