Compute a confidence interval from sample data

I have sample data which I would like to compute a confidence interval for, assuming a normal distribution. I have found and installed the numpy and scipy packages and have gotten numpy to return a mean and standard deviation (numpy.mean(data) with data being a list). Any advice on getting a sample confidence interval would be much appreciated.
import numpy as np import scipy.stats def mean_confidence_interval(data, confidence=0.95): a = 1.0 * np.array(data) n = len(a) m, se = np.mean(a), scipy.stats.sem(a) h = se * scipy.stats.t.ppf((1 + confidence) / 2., n-1) return m, m-h, m+h You can calculate like this.
