Hi, [cross posting to debian-science and debian-python]
I want to draw you attention to an RFP that might deserve more attention: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515319 It is concerned with a Matlab-to-Python "converter". The project aims to aid the conversion of Matlab code to Python. While this software seems to be in a rather early stage of development it has nevertheless the potential to become a mighty tool to facilitate the migration of an unestimable amount of Matlab code to a free language/computing environment and hence a global migration toward the use of free software. These guys published a paper about their compiler in the journal 'Frontier in Neuroinformatics' (open-access as it should be ;) http://www.frontiersin.org/neuroinformatics/paper/10.3389/neuro.11/005.2009/ According to the journals access statistics it receives an impressive amount of attention. It would really cool to have that beast in the flagship of free software (which is Debian for those who wonder ;).
