Some systems use python as a glue to make environments which are used by
professionals that are not primarily programmers.
Some egs:
Scientific prog with Scipy+matplotlib

Here is some code I (tried) to write in class the other day
The basic problem is of generating combinations
Using the pascal-identity nCr + nC(r-1) = (n+1)Cr
This can be written (Haskell)
c :: Int -> Int -> Int
c n 0 = 1
c 0 (r+1)
