The other thing Octave/Matlab has over Python: it's a lot easier and clearer to express numeric algorithms in Matlab than Python, as Python isn't designed as an array language. Citation: go on github, search PRML and look at the Python versus Matlab results. I don't know why people have a problem porting Matlab code to Octave; it's been drag and drop for me except for the more esoteric package dependencies.
