A fairly complete python 2.6.5 installation is available on both the login and compute nodes, at

/opt/gridware/python2.6.5/bin/python

I recommend you invoke your python scripts by explicitly invoking python as above — for example:

/opt/gridware/python2.6.5/bin/python /export/home/username/bin/myscript.py

Modules included with this are :-

  • numpy scipy Comprehensive scientific processing for python
  • PyNGL Scientific visualisation
  • tables HDF file reader and writer
  • mpl_toolkits, matplotlib Matplotlib - MATLAB-like plotting functions
  • Crypto Cryptographic utilities
  • OpenSSL Secure Sockets Layer
  • IPython Interactive python, great for debugging
  • PyNIO NetCDF file reader / writer
  • Polygon Polygon manipulation routines
  • ANN kdtree-based Approximate Nearest Neighbour routines

Most of these modules invoke low-level C and Fortran to do the heavy lifting.
