Python advantages

https:
//stackoverflow.com/questions/5214369/python-vs-matlab
More powerful programming language
Completely open environment
Integration with external tools
Complete toolbox/module with lots of functions and classes can be
contained in a single file (in contrast to a bunch of M-files)
More convenient for object-oriented programming
Interfacing C, C++, and fortran code is better supported
Portability: runs on more platforms (Linux, Windows , Os X)

""" The Zen of Python , by Tim Peters

Beautiful is better than ugly .


Explicit is better than implicit .
Simple is better than complex .
Complex is better than complicated .
Flat is better than nested .
Sparse is better than dense .
Readability counts .
If the implementation is hard to explain ,
it ’s a bad idea .
If the implementation is easy to explain ,
it may be a good idea . """
