New to me: Numpy/Scipy. If you're using Matlab you should know there's a Free and worthy Python based alternative



Don't forget Matplotlib. Great-looking visualizations built on top of the Numpy stack.


And don't forget basemap if you're doing anything geospatial. This is an absolute godsend for me, I wish I knew of alternatives in other languages too, but as far as I know there's nothing else like it for that sweet spot of free and awesome ease of use.

(Not that I mind writing in Python of course! It would just be nice to have similar options when python might not be an option)
