While nice features like the elegant syntax and open-source nature of Python have certainly contributed to its popularity, the main reason why Johnny Lin and others are so bullish about Python is the fact that you can do pretty much everything with it.



Consider this hypothetical workflow, typical of the weather/climate sciences:
