Introduction
These IPython notebooks are a tutorial-style introduction to the astropy Python package.
Astropy has excellent tutorial-style and reference documentation. The advantage of these notebooks is that you can execute and start playing with the examples directly without having to copy & paste the code into IPython.
It would be best if we find a way to generate IPython notebooks from the RestructuredText tutorial-style astropy documentation (or the other way around) to avoid creating and maintaining two versions of the same content (see this ticket).
Astropy currently doesn't do plotting, so we use aplpy to plot astronomical images.
All of these notebooks are very much (as Astropy itself) work in progress and feedback / contributions via issues and pull requests on github are very welcome!
