Scipy

SciPy

SciPy is an open source library of algorithms and mathematical tools for the Python programming language that grew out of Travis Oliphant's original collection of extension modules for Python which he released in 1999 under the name Multipack (named for the netlib packages that it brought together such as ODEPACK, QUADPACK, and MINPACK). Pearu Peterson was also doing work in using an automatic fortran-to-python connection tool called f2py to connect LAPACK and BLAS to Python. In 2001, Around 2001, Travis Oliphant, Eric Jones and Pearu Peterson merged their modules to create the SciPy package itself. Since 2001 many contributors have joined to improve both the quality and mathematical coverage of the SciPy package. Many of these developers meet at SciPy conferences held throughout the world.
