Python

Python, Python, Python ... where have you been all my life. Python is great. I love the ability to interface with other codes as well as it's quick scripting ability. I have some Python codes that I would like to distribute, but usually they involve being expansions of other open source codes and I am not willing to distribute them directly. Hopefully someday I will have a full fledged program.

I do want to make some comments about the Python package NumPy. NumPy is so cool, it is entitled to be awesomely awesome. It has almost replaced my need for MATLAB since MATLAB is so expensive and that It can be built on clusters and use MPI communications using pyMPI package. Very useful and hopefully get some good examples of useful functions for others to use.
