Have a look at NumPy http://numpy.sf.net
It includes matrix/vector handling (like MatLab, sometimes even
better :-) and some linear algebra. But don't take the new
version "numarray", it's still under development.
But: these routines do not handle sparse matrices in an efficient
way, afaik you'll have to use full matrices.

Modulus is a function in the python core.

Take wxPython.

Take py2exe
