Python

Python (programming language) - WP:
• Beautiful is better than ugly
• Explicit is better than implicit
• Simple is better than complex
• Complex is better than complicated
• Readability counts
Rather than having all of its functionality built into its core, Python was designed to be highly extensible. - adding programmable interfaces to existing applications
Python's philosophy rejects the Perl "there is more than one way to do it" approach to language design in favor of "there should be one—and preferably only one—obvious way to do it". - small core language with a large standard library and easily extensible interpreter - can move time-critical functions to extension modules written in languages such as C, or use PyPy, a just-in-time compiler. Cython is also available, which translates a Python script into C and makes direct C-level API calls into the Python interpreter - keeping it fun to use - spam and eggs (from a famous Monty Python sketch) instead of the standard foo and bar -
code is pythonic is to say that it uses Python idioms well, that it is natural or shows fluency in the language, that it conforms with Python's minimalist philosophy and emphasis on readability - contrast is unpythonic - WP - python.org

• Effective Computation in Physics: Field Guide to Research with Python - by Anthony Scopatz and Kathryn D. Huff - 1e 2015 - p552 - Amazon

R Cover - Back - Dedication - Table of Contents Part1-4 Ch1-23 Glossary Bibliography Index
Foreward
xv - spending hours, weeks etc. struggling without the right skills for scientific computing - not knowing how reliable the results are - Katy and Anthony show that none of this pain is necessary - few basic tools like command shell, version control, writing modular code solves it and help others to reproduce and build on this work - book doesn't make you a great but a better programmer - helps to make effective use of tutorials and Q&A forums on Web
Preface xvii - Welcome to Effective Computation in Physics - will learn essential software skills from astrophysics to nuclear engineering - from 0 to software team guru - physics and computer co-evolved - phisicists wrongly think programming is easy and learning phisics teaches how to write code - need computation in physics as we need math - knowing computation makes practicing physics much easier - computer is like slide rule or photon detector or oscilloscope, but because computer is more complicated and configurable, it requires more patience, care and understanding to properly set up -
xviii - more and more physicists are asked to be software developers - will be more productive as physicist - also computational modeling and simulation play important part to validate theory and diminishes the costs
