+\frametitle{Running Python script from command line}
+\label{sec-2}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Create a script, open text editor and type the following
+\begin{verbatim}
+     print "hello world!"
+     print
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\item Save the script as \texttt{hello.py}
+\end{itemize}

+\begin{itemize}
+\item Run the script
+\begin{verbatim}
+     $ python hello.py
+\end{verbatim}
+

+\frametitle{Better way of fixing}
+\label{sec-7}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+   from scipy import linspace
+\end{verbatim}
+
+  instead of
+\begin{verbatim}
+   from scipy import *
+\end{verbatim}
+
+    \texttt{*} means import all functions from name-space \texttt{scipy}.

+\label{sec-8}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+    from scipy import linspace, pi, sin
+    from pylab import plot, legend, annotate
+    from pylab import xlim, ylim, title, show
+\end{verbatim}
+
+  Is better than, \texttt{from scipy import *} \& \texttt{from pylab import *}.

+\frametitle{Another Fix}
+\label{sec-9}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+import scipy

+pylab.plot(x, x, 'b')
+pylab.plot(x, -x, 'b')

+\frametitle{Exercise 1}
+\label{sec-10}
+
+  Write a python script to plot a sine wave from 
+    $-2\Pi$
+  to 
+    $2\Pi$
+  .

+\frametitle{What is a module?}
+\label{sec-11}
+
+  Module is simply a file containing Python definitions and
+  statements. Definitions from a module can be imported into other
+  modules or into the main module.

+\frametitle{Python standard library}
+\label{sec-12}
+
+  Python has a very rich standard library of modules.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Few libraries
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Math: \texttt{math}, \texttt{random}
+\item Internet access: \texttt{urllib2}, \texttt{smtplib}
+\item System, Command line arguments: \texttt{sys}
+\item Operating system interface: \texttt{os}
+\item regular expressions: \texttt{re}
+\item compression: \texttt{gzip}, \texttt{zipfile}, \texttt{tarfile}
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item More information
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \href{http://docs.python.org/library}{http://docs.python.org/library}
