Handling Images in Python via Matplotlib

This page describes how to use the matplotlib.image module to load and work with images. Here.

Scipy and NumPy Documentation

Python has modules several modules, Scipy and NumPy, that offer very similar functionality to the functions offered by Matlab. (This is not a conclusive list of math/science related Python modules, but this is a good place to start.)

N.B. I found that to use scipy.linalg.eig(A), I needed to say: import scipy; from scipy import linalg. That did the old tricking.

NumPy for Matlab users may be found here.
