[Matrix-SIG] advocacy - happy users of NumPy?

[Joe Van Andel]

Having been freshly inspired by attending the Python Conference, I want 
to try to sell NumPy to my management as an alternative to using 
MATLAB, PV-WAVE, and IDL.

Would any of you be willing to send me your success stories about how 
you/your organization has used NumPy (and associated packages) to 
build data analysis software?  It would be particularly helpful if you 
could supply a URL to any results generated by your tools, and/or 
explanations of your NumPy based tools.  Please indicate if you'd be 
willing to have your comments added to a Numeric Python Satisfied 
User's Page.

Of course, if you had problems using NumPy, I'd sure like to know why, 
as well . . .

I'd like to show that this approach worked well for other scientific 
researchers, and that it isn't totally "off-the-wall".

Thanks much for your help!
