I'm aware that python/scipy were not started as a clone matlab (well
matlibplot was started as something similar ;)
Yes, matplotlib AFAIK wanted (and probably wants) to be something
similar, and it's bad, because mpl is too good in itself to be forced to
be just a matlab ripoff! :)
and also that they should be taught as an language (and that's why I
prefer to use it an not to shol very useful programs like OCTAVE od
Scilab.. it's better for students to hava a curriculum with a true
programming language than with a metalanguage).
That's really good and I fully agree.
I have to admit also that if someone there sooner or later would create
a workspace similar to matlab (with paste and copy, and more interactive
feature without tweaking too much) a lot more people would be glade to
replace their matlab with scipy/matplotlib.
A pythonic interacting environment IMHO should be a nice application in
itself to write. It should have its own shell instead of relying on
ipython (that is, it should not be a python shell, or a python shell
*really* on steroids). I'd like to hear the pylab guys to know what they
think.
