Summary

In this chapter, we started our journey with building the most important stepping stone of the book - Installing Enthought Canopy. We then moved to installing other libraries and installing different types of packages. We also grasped some of the basics of Python with the help of various Python code. We covered basic concepts such as modules, lists along with Tuples, and eventually moved on to understanding more of Python basics with a better knowledge of functions and looping in Python. Finally, we started with running some of our simple Python scripts.

In the next chapter, we will move on to understand concepts of statistics and probability.
