Python Scripting for Computational Science (Texts in Computational Science and Engineering)

The Python Scripting Book is a comprehensive guide to developing tailored, flexible, and human-efficient working environments using small programs written in the easy-to-learn, high-level language Python.

With a focus on examples and applications relevant to computational scientists, this book teaches readers how to glue existing applications and tools, steer simulations and computational experiments, equip old programs with graphical user interfaces, make computational Web applications, and create interactive interfaces with a Maple/Matlab-like syntax to numerical applications in C/C++ or Fortran.

The third edition is compatible with the new NumPy implementation and features updated information, corrections of errors, and improved associated software tools.

This book will increase productivity, reliability, and fun for computational scientists working on Unix, Windows, and Macintosh platforms.
