We have 4 Presentations this month:
Austin Godber will be doing a demonstration of how he uses IPython for 
data analysis tasks.
IPython has multiple components.  First it provides an advanced command 
line python REPL replacement.  IPython also has a useful web based 
notebook interface that is well suited for interactive data analysis and 
visualization.  Both of these features will be addressed with focus 
being on the web notebook component.
