Installing NumPy and SciPy in Python 2.6

2008-11-28 Thread Vicent Giner
Sorry if my question was already asked and answered, but I can't manage with this... I've installed Python 2.6 in my Windows XP. Actually, I've installed ActiveState's ActivePython 2.6. I would like to use NumPy and SciPy. Are those packages compatible with version 2.6 of Python? Are they alrea

Debugging in Python

2008-11-29 Thread Vicent Giner
Hello again. Thank you for the answers I got to my previous question. All of them were very useful to me. I want to know if I have understood well the way I can work with Python. As far as I've understood, [the free version of] ActivePython is just a [good, ready-to-work] Python distribution. Al

Using Python for programming algorithms

2008-05-17 Thread Vicent Giner
Hello. I am new to Python. It seems a very interesting language to me. Its simplicity is very attractive. However, it is usually said that Python is not a compiled but interpreted programming language —I mean, it is not like C, in that sense. I am working on my PhD Thesis, which is about Operati

Thank you very much for all the answers I've got. As far as I have understood, Python can be a good alternative, or, at least, a reasonable choice. I intend to design new algorithms for a kind of Optimization problems, and then I have to implement them and show/prove that they are good enough, in
