install is painful - enthought python distribution does make it pretty painless, but its not free for non-academics
agreed on documentation
actually I think python's visualization capabilities are more powerful, have you looked at mlab? the 3d capabilities there are insane
I use python because I can do rapid prototyping, and turn it into a full application with the same code base.
did you ultimately go back to matlab?
- maurits 16y agoWell, I only got it all the work ( on OS X ) like an hour or two ago, and am currently happily learning&exploring. I wanted to venture beyond Matlab because for what I am currently doing the environment and language is to limited, yet I do not wish to prototype in C++. Python together with some libraries seemed to be a deal in heaven. I also thought it would function as a better stepping stone towards an actual application.
- tmarthal 16y agoInstallation of the PIL pre-built packages on OSX is notoriously difficult, since it relies on system c libraries to do some processing. Moving your development to a linux machine will clear up all of those issues. Also 'easy_install' should get you all of the packages you want.
