Can you process seismographic signals in Python or should I switch to Matlab ?

RE: Can you process seismographic signals in Python or should I switch to Matlab ?
A a, Consider asking a more specific question. Many things can be done in many different programming languages. Are you asking if there are helpers you can use such as modules that implement parts of the algorithms you need? Are you asking about speed or efficiency? Have you considered how few people here are likely to know much about a specialized field and perhaps a search using a search engine might get you something like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=python+process+seimographic+signals&oq=pytho n+process+seimographic+signals&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i546l5.16718j0j7&sourceid= chrome&ie=UTF-8 For example: https://www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de/~megies/www_obsrise/ You can of course search for say signal processing or whatever makes sense to you. My answer, if not clear, is that your question may not be primarily about Python and about finding whatever environment gives you both access to software that helps you as well as a language that lets you wrap lots of it together, make reports and so on. Python is likely a decent choice but perhaps others are better for your own situation, such as having others nearby you can learn from. Good luck. -Original Message- From: Python-list On Behalf Of a a Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2023 6:54 PM To: python-list@python.org Subject: Can you process seismographic signals in Python or should I switch to Matlab ?

RE: Can you process seismographic signals in Python or should I switch to Matlab ?
I have used GNU Octave as a sort of replacement for MATLAB as a free resource. I have no idea if it might meet your needs. Although Python is a good environment for many things, if you have no knowledge of it yet, it can take a while to know enough and if you just need it for one project, ... -Original Message- From: Python-list On Behalf Of Thomas Passin Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2023 12:02 AM To: python-list@python.org Subject: Re: Can you process seismographic signals in Python or should I switch to Matlab ?
