Speaking for me (and my shadow), I like the distribution of VPython. It does what I want out of the box. I use VPython for a lot of data analysis and quick modeling work. For me, at least: (1) Small footprint is not all that important. (2) I am a dumb-ol-country boy physicist who likes not havin to install stuff. (I'm making fun of ME there by the way). The only thing I have to add on for what I do is Dislin. (3) I like IDLE. Its....I don't know, friendly. This is my data point, based on the path I came to Python on and what I do with it. I am by no means trying to persuade anyone how valid it is. Wayne Keen By the way, I did write an acknowlegement in a paper I am presenting at SPIE next month to the VPython group. |
