Description

Python is a programming language that can be used both for scientific computing (as a replacement for Fortran or C/C++) and for everyday scripting (as a replacement for Bash or Perl), but also to develop full programs with a GUI as well as headless services. It is a very nice tool to include in any scientist's toolbox.
