This is the demo for my PyBay 2017 talk. If you are not comfortable setting up the demo or unable to do so, you will still get a lot out of the session.

I recommend downloading Anaconda, which contains the main Python scientific libraries. Alternately, you can create a virtual environment and install the necessary requirements:

virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

To start the jupyter notebook from the command line:

jupyter notebook
