With its portability, ease to add built-in functions and objects in C, and fast array facility among many other features, Python proved to be an excellent language for creating programmable scientific applications. In addition to the two modules presented, there are also other progresses at LLNL in using Python. For example, Python interfaces are being developed for at least three graphics packages, and Python interpreter and applications have been built on distributed platforms such as meiko and Cray T3D.
