This repository contains the full listing of IPython notebooks behind the [Python Data Science Handbook](http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920034919.do), including all text, code, and figures. The book was written and tested with Python 3.5, though older Python versions (including Python 2.7) should work in nearly all cases.
