Numeric and Scientific Python packages

• [Overview of Python Numeric and Scientific packages] (http://wiki.python.org/moin/NumericAndScientific)
  [Libaries] (http://wiki.python.org/moin/NumericAndScientific/Libraries), Formats, [Plotting] (http://wiki.python.org/moin/NumericAndScientific/Plotting)
• [SciPy] (http://scipy.org/)
  SciPy is a Python-based ecosystem of open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. Core packages: NumPy, Matplotlib, IPython, SymPy, pandas, nose. Further pages about SciPy: http://scipy-central.org/ and http://wiki.scipy.org/Topical_Software.
• [NumPy] (http://www.numpy.org/)
  NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python with a similar functionality like Matlab. Useful for translation of Matlab scripts to Python (Help-pages: http://wiki.scipy.org/NumPy_for_Matlab_Users and http://mathesaurus.sourceforge.net/matlab-numpy.html). An introduction to NumPy at http://www.python-kurs.eu/numpy.php.
• [Matplotlib] (http://matplotlib.org) Matplotlib is a python 2D plotting library. Gallery can be found at http://matplotlib.org/gallery.html.
• [Pandas] (http://pandas.pydata.org/)
  BSD-licensed library providing high-performance, easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools for the Python programming language (similar to R).
• [Sage] (http://www.sagemath.org)
  Open-source mathematics software system.

Optimization with Python

• http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/tutorial/optimize.html
  The scipy.optimize package provides several commonly used optimization algorithms.
• https://software.sandia.gov/trac/coopr/wiki/Documentation/RelatedProjects
  Overview of Python Optimization Tools.

Linear optimization

• [PuLP] (https://projects.coin-or.org/PuLP)
  PuLP is an LP modeler written in python. PuLP can generate MPS or LP files and call ​GLPK, ​COIN CLP/CBC, ​CPLEX, and ​GUROBI to solve linear problems. Further page: http://pythonhosted.org/PuLP, https://code.google.com/p/pulp-or/.

GIS

• [PPyGIS] (www.fabianowski.eu/projects/ppygis/ )
  PPyGIS is an extension the Psycopg (http://initd.org/psycopg/), a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming language. PPyGIS adds support for PostGIS geometry objects by transparently translating between their PostGIS EWKB representation and Python objects.
• Grass GIS
  GRASS Python Scripting Library.

Plotting of GeoData and Shape-Files

• [Thuban] (http://thuban.intevation.org/)
  Thuban is an Interactive Geographic Data Viewer.

System simulation

• [ScipySim] (http://code.google.com/p/scipy-sim/)
  ScipySim is a prototype of a graphical block-diagram tool for modelling and simulating heterogeneous systems using Python and Scipy. (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2048476.2048487).
• Gridlib Flexible and efficient Grid Management for Simulation and Visualization (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=757630).
• [Openmodelica] (https://openmodelica.org/index.php/home/tools/212)
  OMPython is a subsystem of the OpenModelica platform, enabling users to experience the modeling and simulation capabilities of OpenModelica within the Python environment.
