thanks. I'll try that. I'm currently coding in matlab to simulate 1D steady state fluid dynamics problems, and considering the switch to python/scipy. Key issues of concern: 1) can matrices/vectors be handled in the same way (this is the power of matlab of course). eg. the matlab 'dot' notation which operates element by element on matrices. using vectors greatly speeds up code over for loops and makes it more compact. 2) matlab has extremely powerful plotting facilities 3) object orientation. Actually I think python might excel here. I get a bit frustrated with matlab objects (no passing by reference, for example). 4) creation of executables/binaries-- should be okay Do you or anyone have any comments on these points?

I know it can be frustrating to try new software and have it not work completely out of the box. At this point in the installation, someone recommended to me to switch to Ipython and matplotlib. That is what I have done and I am quite happy with it.

Otherwise, wxpython allows you to play with gui and can be find here: (http://www.wxpython.org).
