The best way to learn Python tutorial series notebooks

These are the notebooks accompanying the best way to learn Python tutorial series on YouTube <http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwNU7Gk6Z5ZkXXsvtJTtBhQNl905Jua-O>_.

This tutorial series is different, for two reasons: First, we use the IPython Notebook <http://ipython.org/>, which is probably the ideal way to experiment with and learn Python. Second, it makes use of Anaconda by Continuum IO <http://www.continuum.io/downloads>, meaning installation on all platforms is easy, you have a Python environment completely separate from your system Python, and you have access to bunches of scientific, mathematical and graphing libraries.
