MayaVi is a free, cross platform, easy-to-use scientific data visualizer. It provides a powerful GUI to ease the visualization process. It is written in Python and uses the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) for the graphics. MayaVi can be scripted from other Python programs and also from the interactive Python interpreter. MayaVi includes the VTK Pipeline browser. The VTK Pipeline browser is a Python module (vtkPipeline) that enables one to view and configure the objects in the VTK pipeline graphically with a Tkinter-based GUI. The browser should work for any Python script that uses VTK. MayaVi also provides classes to pickle a VTK object and a simple class documentation browser.
Lindenmayer Systems in Python provides a simple implementation of Lindenmayer systems (also called "L-systems" or "substitution systems"). In basic form, a Lindenmayer system consists of a starting string of symbols from an alphabet which has repeated transitions applied to it, specified by a list of transition search-and-replace rules. In addition to the standard formulation, two alternative implementations are included: sequential systems (in which at most one rule is applied) and tag systems (in which the transition only takes place at the beginning and end of the string). Despite being implemented entirely in Python, for reasonable rules on a modern machine, the system is capable of running thousands of generations per second. Lindenmayer systems are found in artificial intelligence and artificial life and can be used to generate fractal patterns (usually via mapping symbols from the alphabet to turtle commands), organic-looking patterns that can simulate plants or other living things, or even music.
Charlemagne is a versatile genetic programming application. It includes a commandline client and an interactive console mode. It is written in Python and Lisp, and is user extensible to some degree in both languages. It features built-in input-output mapping support and provides the ability to define complex fitness calculations in Lisp or Python.
SPFPM (Simple Python Fixed-Point Module) is a Python module which provides basic facilities for manipulating (binary) fixed-point numbers. The number of fractional binary digits is tunable, allowing near-arbitrary precision arithmetic. Arithmetic and mathematical functions such as sqrt, exp, log, sin, and cos are available.
