Documentation
Modules for Scientific Computing and Visualization
SciPy/NumPy
pylab
- Matplotlib/pylab Plotting functions with a high degree of Matlab compatibility 
GDAL
- GDAL - Geospatial Data Abstraction Library for various satellite data formats 
PyNGL
- PyNGL/PyNIO Python interface to NCAR Command Language 
- Scientific visualization and data formats (netCDF, HDF, GRIB etc.)
To enable PyNGL (on ZMAW Linux ia32/x64 and solaris10) you have to type
module load PyNGL/1.2.0
Python Interface to GrADS
RPy
- RPy (R from Python) Statistical computing and graphics 
F2PY: Fortran to Python interface generator
Calling Fortran code from python is easy! Create a file hello.f:
C File hello.f
      subroutine foo (a)
      integer a
      print*, "Hello from Fortran!"
      print*, "a=",a
      endRun f2py -c -m hello hello.f
Now in IPython try:
In [1]: import hello In [2]: hello.foo(4) Hello from Fortran! a= 4
Example taken from
Topical Modules
- Seawater is a package for computing properties of seawater (UNESCO 1981 and UNESCO 1983). 
More topical software can be found at http://scipy.org/Topical_Software
Installation in the home directory
Installation of module seawater in directory ~/modules
python setup.py install --prefix=~/modules/
Usage
import sys,os
home=os.getenv('HOME')
genpath=home+'/modules/lib/python2.4/site-packages/'
if not sys.path.__contains__(genpath):
    sys.path.append(genpath)
from seawater import *
Download
