Interesting comment. I do know that there is a lot of interest in Python in the scientific community. Some SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics -- BIG coverage there) conferences have had special minisymposia on using Python for numerical coding. But most people just have no idea where to start or are put off by all the packages out there and the need to find one's way through the forest. I suspect a simple "all-in-one" package of Python for Scientists, Mathematicians, and Engineers (a la MATLAB) would be a hit. Given the existence of Matplotlib in Python that might be a reasonable target. Even if it were just a "poor man's MATLAB" that would be fine. Just so long as it installed in one shot and was reasonable easy to use. But maybe that's asking a lot. I don't know.

It's called "Enthon." There will be a new release (for Windows and Linux) with more stuff, like matplotlib, Soon(TM).
