01 python

[mspieg]

small modifications and additions to 01_python.ipynb notebook

• added a little on checking types with isinstance
• added a short example of exception handling
• added a bit on peer review (because the exception example is actually a crappy piece of code ;^)

Heh, yes it is.

You may want to also add the debugging comment from https://github.com/mandli/numerical-methods-pdes/blob/master/01_python.ipynb that has a pointer to a tutorial by @jhamrick s well.

added the debugging section but I suspect this will break travis-CI (we'll see) Oh and my function is still stupid but at least the docstrings are numpy style compliant ;^)

[mandli]

I usually comment out those pieces until I use it in class. Otherwise there's no good way to that but still past the tests meaningfully.

[mspieg]

Okay, let me comment that out and push again.
