Hi Hubert,

I see, so it sounds like you're using Python as an extended calculation
engine.

By the way, from your descriptions, I think you might also find something
like the Mathematica or Maxima systems useful.  Mathematica's "workbook"
interface, in particular, allows for similar kinds of experimental
calculations.  Both systems emphasize mathematical integrity, and this
might make those system better well suited to your equations than Python.

You can find out more here:

Best of wishes to you!
