I work in neuroscience, and use Python of signal processing. I've used Matlab before. Python is just better. I do not use either Sage or Enthought. Instead I have istalled a vanilla Python and the libraries I need. The most important parts are: - Python 2.5.2 - NumPy - SciPy - Matplotlib - wxPython - pywin32 - PIL - Cython - PyOpenGL - mpi4py - processing module - gfortran and gcc (not a Python library, but I need a C and Fortran compiler) Less important stuff I also have installed: - Twisted - PyGame - MySQL and mysqldb - Python for .NET (http://pythonnet.sourceforge.net) - VideoCapture -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
