Scientific computing in Python for MATLAB programmers

Question:

I was wondering if anybody knows of a good tutorial or introductory text on scientific computing on Python/SciPy for MATLAB programmers.

I was thinking of something along the lines of David Hiebeler’s text on R for MATLAB programmers, which provides a side-by-side reference between both languages.

To clarify, my current environment of choice is Python(x,y) with Spyder, but anything that shows how to translate some fundamental operations, built-ins and utilities between MATLAB and SciPy + third-party extensions would be great.

Take a look at Link

You didn’t ask for tools, but I thought I’d mention Sage.

Might be a little outdated for some commands, but looks like a good reference from Numpy/Scipy to MATLAB:

Rosetta Code is a great resource for translating between languages. Most problems have a python example, and there are several hundred MATLAB equivalents.
