SciPy.org — SciPy.org. Preface. 1.1 Introduction SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator) is a software development tool for building scripting language interfaces to C and C++ programs.
Originally developed in 1995, SWIG was first used by scientists in the Theoretical Physics Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory for building user interfaces to simulation codes running on the Connection Machine 5 supercomputer. In this environment, scientists needed to work with huge amounts of simulation data, complex hardware, and a constantly changing code base. NumPy — Numpy. An Introduction to Python Lists. You can use the list type to implement simple data structures, such as stacks and queues. stack = [] stack.append(object) object = stack.pop() queue = [] queue.append(object) object = queue.pop(0) The list type isn’t optimized for this, so this works best when the structures are small (typically a few hundred items or smaller).
