  \frametitle{To sum up, python is\ldots}

  \begin{itemize}

  \item dynamically typed, interpreted $\rightarrow$ rapid testing/prototyping

  \item powerful, very high level

  \item has full introspection 

  \item Did we mention powerful?

  \end{itemize}

  \begin{block}{But \ldots}

    may be wanting in performance. specialised resources such as SWIG, \alert{Cython} are available

\subsection{Getting Started}

\begin{frame}[fragile]{At the prompt, type the following}

   \begin{lstlisting}

>>> print 'Hello Python' 

>>> print 3124 * 126789

>>> 1786 % 12

>>> 3124 * 126789

>>> a = 3124 * 126789

>>> big = 12345678901234567890 ** 3

>>> verybig = big * big * big * big 

>>> 12345**6, 12345**67, 12345**678

  \end{lstlisting}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]{At the prompt, type the following}

   \begin{lstlisting}

>>> s = 'Hello '

>>> p = 'World'

>>> s + p 

>>> s * 12 

>>> s * s

>>> s + p * 12, (s + p)* 12

>>> s * 12 + p * 12

>>> 12 * s 

    \end{lstlisting}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]{At the prompt, type the following}

  \begin{lstlisting}

>>> 17/2

>>> 17/2.0

>>> 17.0/2

>>> 17.0/8.5

>>> int(17/2.0)

>>> float(17/2)

>>> str(17/2.0)

>>> round( 7.5 )
