What about NumPy + unittest + all other Python libraries?
- tel 15y agoNumPy is making pretty strong headway in many communities. It's still not Matlabby enough for the majority, though. It doesn't make a clear improvement, so I think many see it it as just poorly replicating the features of Matlab for free. It's also pretty notoriously difficult to install, especially if you want LAPACK/BLAS. I wasn't able to get it running on many of our servers for that reason and had to revert to Matlab.

I almost said "no way!" then remembered how difficult it was for me to get Scipy 0.9.0 installed and verified via tests. Still, it's like Matlab ("it" being Num/Sci/Matplotlib) plus all of Python. That's a significant improvement over Matlab if you can get it installed.
