Cool Python libs
After more playing around with Python, I’ve stumbled accross a few libs that could be of use. Firstly, matplotlib is a plotting library which has nice asthetics and can output SVG, but requires some fussy setup. Other plotting libs, biggles and Gnuplot.py; both quite similiar, but the latter requires gnuplot to be present.
Another module, is Pexpect. This appears to be able to interact with other command like applications that are interactive in nature; ssh, ftp, etc. Don’t know if I’ll ever use it, but its nice to know its out there.
If I ever need to couple Python and C++, theres SWIG and others, but another alternative is PyCXX.
