Hello Nicola! For scientific computing there are the Numpy and Scipy libraries: http://www.scipy.org/ For making graphs there is Matplotlib: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/
You should join the mailing lists of these projects. For the GUI I would use QT4: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/index.html The Python bindings are called PyQt4: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/news You should also look at Enthought's Traits UI, which is specially dedicated to scientist, but I don't know if it can be installed on Linux. http://code.enthought.com/projects/traits/ Maybe Python's built in GUI might be good enough for you. http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter However you should definitely write a command line program first, and start with the GUI when the program more or less works. GUI programming is a lot of work for a relatively small gain in usability. Good luck with your project, Eike. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
