Actually SciLab is also a fairly popular alternative, as I'm told. <div>This blog post describes the options for you: <a href="http://www.morlok.net/ryan/2006/11/01/open-source-matlab-alternatives/">http://www.morlok.net/ryan/2006/11/01/open-source-matlab-alternatives/</a></div>

Dear All,<br><br> My name is Bharat Pathak and I own the company named<br> "Arithos Designs" <a href="http://www.Arithos.com" target="_blank">www.Arithos.com</a>, we started one year<br> back and I have become a big fan of Python.<br>
<br> My company is into DSP Design Consultancy and Tech Trainings,<br> in the area of Digital Signal Processing, Digital Image Processing,<br> and Front end VLSI space. For our kind of work Matlab is<br> a good commercial s/w but it's once license would rip-us<br>
-off by 3 lakh Rs. Since mine is a self funded startup, we did<br> not have money to invest so much. Hence I was looking for<br> alternatives. <br> All my thanks and appreciation to originators of Python in<br> inventing such a fantastic language. There is more to write....<br>
but I would like to close.<br><br>Regards<br>Bharat Pathak<br><br>Founder and CEO<br><br>Arithos Designs<br><a href="http://www.Arithos.com" target="_blank">www.Arithos.com</a><br><br>DSP Design

<br>> Typically Python is used in product/consulting companies<br>> with niche software/consulting such as Django, Zope<br>> and other Python based web frameworks.<br>> <br>> Python is otherwise used in places like Google, HP,<br>
> IBM. Startups also tend to use it a lot, especially those<br>> in search, mobile etc.<br>> <br>> The purpose of this thread is to start a discussion among<br>> Python usage among those in the IT service sector - say<br>

the big 5 (Infosys, TCS, Wirpo, Accenture, IBM Global<br>> Services...)<br>> <br>> If you are working in the Indian IT service industry and have<br>> used or currently use Python in your work, do write in<br>
