Mpmath is a pure-Python library for multiprecision floating-point arithmetic. It provides an extensive set of transcendental functions, unlimited exponent sizes, complex numbers, interval arithmetic, numerical integration and differentiation, root-finding, linear algebra, and much more. Almost any calculation can be performed just as well at 10-digit or 1000-digit precision, and in many cases mpmath implements asymptotically fast algorithms that scale well for extremely high precision work. If available, mpmath will (optionally) use gmpy to speed up high precision operations.

pylize is a Python script that makes the creation of on-screen presentations a matter of a few minutes. It generates a template master document, which you can edit with your favourite text or HTML editor. The master document is then processed by pylize to generate HTML files for every slide plus a file for the table of contents. You can view the presentation with any CSS-capable webbrowser.

Replace globals with context-safe variables and services

Linda is an widely studied distributed computing environment, centered around the notion of a tuple space. A tuple space is a bag (also called a multi-set) of tuples. A tuple is an ordered, typed chunk of data. Tuple spaces exist independently of processes in the system, and the data placed into a tuple space also exist independently. See "Generative communication in Linda" (1985) and "Multiple tuple spaces in Linda" both by David Gelernter for more information on Linda.

You can use Microsoft Script Control. If you have the win32 extensions of python, you can use python in place of vb in this control -open the VBA script editor - In menus/Tools/References add Microsoft Script Control -Make a new module and declare a new MsScriptControl.ScriptControl Global sc as new MsScriptControl.ScriptControl -Initialize the language attibute with python - Note that you and users of your document must have python and its win32 extensions installed. Activestate python distribustion include it. You can put sc.language="python" in the routine Workbook_Open() Now you can import python modules using ExecuteStatement method of the control in vba and have results from python functions with eval method. One interesting thing is that you can pass an object to the control with AddObject method and have python manipulate it. And so on..

Global sc As New MSScriptControl.ScriptControl Public Function os_getcwd() sc.Language = "python" sc.ExecuteStatement ("import os") os_getcwd = sc.Eval("os.getcwd()") End Function With this you can set your Excel formula to =os_getcwd() For me it returns "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents", which I needed to know at the time so I didn't have to screw around with the ever annoying pythonpath. You can put the first two lines of the function in the Workbook_Open hook, but I don't know where that is. I hope to use more Python in Excel soon. Hmm, actually, I suppose you can put those first two lines of the function after the Global declaration as well. I know just about zero VBScript and didn't get a chance to do anything else beyond proof of concept yet. I figured I would write something dynamic which allowed more transparent access to Python, maybe allowing formula like =py("os.getcwd()"), etc.

Given Python's goal to be a powerful and easy-to-use scripting language, its features for working with dates and times are not as user-friendly as they should be. The purpose of pyfdate is to remedy that situation by providing features for working with dates and times that are as powerful and easy-to-use as the rest of Python.

PyProtocols extends the PEP 246 adapt() function with a new "declaration API" that lets you easily define your own protocols and adapters, and declare what adapters should be used to adapt what types, objects, or protocols.  In addition to its own Interface type, PyProtocols can also use Twisted and Zope's Interface types too.  (Of course, since Twisted and Zope interfaces aren't as flexible, only a subset of the PyProtocols API works with them.  Specific limitations are listed in the documentation.)

Pexpect does not currently work on the standard Windows Python

PyNGL (pronounced "pingle") is a Python language module used to visualize scientific data, with an emphasis on high quality 2D visualizations. A working knowledge of Python is assumed.

I wrote dbtxt because I needed a small, flat database in a python environment that didn't depend upon any external libraries. Most libraries are contaminated with the GPL, and this needed to be OK for commercial distribution without any complications. So that's what we have here - a complete (though small) database system that depends on nothing at all other than the Python language and its internal libraries. The entire database comes in at about 20k bytes (that's right, "k", not hundreds of k or megabytes) and I was able to implement all the functions I needed. So I was happy. Will you be happy? Well, download it and read the docs and see what you think. The download, zipped, is about 13k. Yep. 13k. :-) By all means, if you have a need for the same kind of thing, feel free to make any use of dbtxt you please. I have released it as PD, so you can use it in projects that are commercial, GPL, BSD, PD, private, government... whatever you like. Below you'll find a basic description taken from beginning of the docs; in the archive you'll download there is complete documentation, two sample databases, a test program and the database engine itself.

SVGMath is written in pure Python, with neither extension modules nor external dependencies. It runs on any platform where a modern Python environment (version 2.4 or higher) is available. It can be used either as a command-line script for batch-mode file conversion, or as a component to process MathML data in other Python applications.

There are two applications that require using the NumPy array type in C extension modules: Access to numerical libraries: Extension modules can be used to make numerical libraries written in C (or languages linkable to C, such as Fortran) accessible to Python programs. The NumPy array type has the advantage of using the same data layout as arrays in C and Fortran. Mixed-language numerical code: In most numerical applications, only a small part of the total code is CPU time intensive. Only this part should thus be written in C, the rest can be written in Python. NumPy arrays are important for the interface between these two parts, because they provide equally simple access to their contents from Python and from C. This document is a tutorial for using NumPy arrays in C extensions.
