WaveMetrics - scientific graphing, data analysis, curve fitting & image processing software

From the scipy mailing list:

It's hard to describe what this amazing program does because it does
so much. I have a few personal dislikes about it but by comparison,
Matlab "isn't even wrong," to misuse a quote from Wolfgang Pauli.

pydap and pupynere

pydap is a python module that will allow you to read (and serve?) netcdf files over the internet. This is very useful if you don't want to have an entire model run on your laptop. John Evans and I are working on prslice that uses this package.

Even more cool, however, is pupynere (PUre PYthon NEtcdf REader) that can read (only, for now) NetCDF files with only builtin python packages and nympy.
