Dear friends, I am a newbie in python and basically i use python for postprocessing like plotting, data manipulation etc. Based on ease of programming on python I am wondering if I can consider it for the main development as well. My jobs (written on fortran) runs for weeks and quite CPU intensive. How python works on these type of heavy computation? Any comment or reference is welcome.
If you need mathematical power (especially symbolic computations), you should also consider Sage[1] which is kind of a module of math over python. In some situations, Sage is the "correct" successor of Fortran instead of plain python.
Well, it does not answers the question, but ... Laurent [1] http://sagemath.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
