Hi,
However, I would disagree that Python with all its tools going to replace Matlab well for everything. For large projects, for advanced programmers and for non-standard things such as complex database handling (in my case) it is definitly a clear winner. However, I would be weary of getting Matlab completely out of the picture because I find it is still a much better tool for algorithm testing, scripting and other "use for a week" functions .
Thanks - that seems very fair. I think you're right that the level of help for matlab is far superior, and easier to get to, than numpy / python. Can you say anything more about the features of matlab that you miss for the 'use a week' functions? It might help guide our thoughts on potential improvements... Thanks a lot, Matthew
