Python is a powerful and flexible programming language. It is increasingly used in scientific software packages, because it has a large number of libraries that are extremely useful in numerical and scientific computing. For instance:
- numpy: Also known as numerical python, this package allows for efficient handling of vectors, arrays, matrices, and associated computations.
- matplotlib: Plotting library that can generate graphs of datasets, including area images. Publication-quality images are possible with some effort.
- scipy: A large collection of computational tools relevant to scientific data.
- Python Image Library (PIL): A library that allows opening, converting, and editing image files including the TIFF files frequently output by x-ray area detectors in scattering instruments.
