Long-time Octave user here. I have also considered moving to Python because of stuff I read on the web, but I am sticking with Octave for now, because at the moment I am more focused on using it to solve problems (mainly signal processing) than I am on learning a new toolset. Octave would seem to fit your needs, since it is what many former Matlab users go to when wanting to go Free. Can you please explain why you chose Python over Octave? I am interested in your perspective on this, and it may help other commenters to better answer your question as well.
- stinos 11y agoIn fact Ocatve was the first thing I tried, on Windows, but it wasn't quite the experience I'm looking for. I ran something like a = [ 1 2 3 ]; plot( a ) On one machine it showed a figure window, then hung for like a minute and then showed the correct plot. On another machine it showed some exception in the command window, IIRC, but in any case it did not plot. Usually I'd investigate this further, report a bug and hope it would get fixed, or try to fix it myself and contribute, but this time I just didn't feel like it..
