I'm looking for a textbook on computational physics based on python. For now I have found Computational Physics with Python by Mark Newman, which I am trying to evaluate. If you have experience with this book or a similar book, I would like to hear from you. (And only if you have knowledge about the book; I can use Google by myself:-p.)

Similarily, if you taught/studied computational physics with python, what material did you use and what was the experience like?

Thanks!

Claude
