Scientific computing Python community commonly use version 2.x there is the migration step to version 3.x ahead..
- sentenza 13y agoFor me, Python has everything I need, among which there are many things that R or Matlab have not. If I should summarize what makes Python so suited for the things I do (and did when I was still doing research) it's the following: Python is an easy to use scripting language that can be integrated with number-crunching C/C++ code and for which a scientific standard library _with a vibrant community_ exists. Also, I haven't written a piece of 2.x code in half a year, which is of course only possible because scipy and matplotlib are 3.x ready.
