Python is a programming language used by scientists & software developers alike.
Python is a popular high-level programming language used by scientists, developers, and many others who want to work more quickly and integrate systems more effectively. The Python Software Foundation serves as an umbrella organization to a variety of Python-related projects, as well as sponsoring projects related to the development of the Python language.
This signed-up year's sub-orgs are:
- Core Python (CPython, its standard library, and its infrastructure.)
- GNU Mailman (Mailing list manager)
- HYDRA W3C Group (middleware for smart clients and machine learning)
- The Italian Mars Society (test bed for missions to Mars)
- Jython (Python for the Java platform. )
- Kivy Organization (library for innovative user interfaces)
- Mercurial (free, distributed source control management tool)
- MNE-Python (processing electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) data)
- MyHDL (hardware description with Python)
- Peragro (a centralized asset server to ease collaboration between artists)
- Pylons Project (Pyramid web framework and related projects)
- PyPy (fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language)
- PySAL (Python Spatial Analysis Library)
- scikit-learn (Python module for machine learning)
- SciPy (library that provides fundamental routines for scientific computing)
- ScrapingHub (web crawling and data processing)
- Statsmodels (data analysis, statistics and econometrics)
- Theano (optimizing compiler for numpy.ndarray and scipy.sparse matrix)
- Timelab (time series analysis for astronomy, to study the variability in black hole emission)
