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

Download
A basic system for scientific computing consists of Python, ipython, numpy/scipy, pylab, and an editor of your choice
- Editor (a nice editor for Windows user, if you don't like to install xemacs)
