Python is emerging as a common scripting language for simulators. This opens up many possibilities for interoperability in the form of analysis, interfaces, and communications between simulators. We report the integration of Python scripting with the Multi-scale Object Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE). MOOSE is a general-purpose simulation system for compartmental neuronal models and for...

This document describes the MPI for Python package. MPI for Python provides bindings of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard for the Python programming language, allowing any Python program to exploit multiple processors. This package is constructed on top of the MPI-1/2 specifications and provides an object oriented interface which closely follows MPI-2 C++ bindings. It supports point-...

Python is a popular programming language that uses reference counting to manage heap objects. Python also has a Foreign Function Interface (FFI) that allows Python extension modules to be written in native code such as C and C++. Native code, however, is outside Python’s system of memory management; therefore extension programmers are responsible for making sure these objects are reference coun...

background and objective: scorpion sting and snakebite are the important problems in some area such as iran that must be addressed. this study was to investigate temporal pattern of scorpion sting and snakebite incidence in patients referred to masjedsoleiman’s main hospital, during 24 months from 21 march 2008 to 20 march 2009. materials and methods: it was an analytical study to scrutiny of m...

Version 2.5 of the Python programming language contains no mechanism for restricting access to resources by Python code. This is a slight hindrance to the language as it is used in many situations, such as a domain-specific language in other applications, where some mechanism to control what resources Python code can access would be helpful. Python did once have a security mechanism for restric...

Introduction: Internal radiation dosimetry is important from a radiation protection point of view and can help to optimize the radiation dose delivered to the workers, public, and patients. It has a rather simple protocol but needs a large amount of data. Therefore, it is difficult to do on a routine basis. The use of computer programs makes internal radiation dosimetry simpler...

VTK and ParaView are leading software packages for data analysis and visualization. Since their early years, Python has played an important role in each package. In many use cases, VTK and ParaView serve as modules used by Python applications. In other use cases, Python modules are used to generate visualization components within VTK. In this paper, we provide an overview of Python integration ...

This technical note introduces the Python bindings for libcloudph++. The libcloudph++ is a C++ library of algorithms for representing atmospheric cloud microphysics in numerical models. The bindings expose the complete functionality of the library to the Python users. The bindings are implemented using the Boost.Python C++ library and use NumPy arrays. This note includes listings with Python sc...

We introduce an MPI Python module, MYMPI, for parallel programming in Python using the Message Passing Interface (MPI). This is a true Python module which runs with a standard Python interpreter. In this paper we discuss the motivation for creating the MYMPI module, along with differences between MYMPI and pyMPI, another MPI Python interpreter. Additionally, we discuss three projects that have ...

Recent work [Ecoscience (2000) vol. 7, 395-397] suggests that the burying beetle Nicrophorus pustulatus may have undergone a remarkable host shift, exploiting snake eggs rather than carrion as resources for breeding. We conducted behavioural and physiological experiments to examine the hypothesis of a host shift and to formulate hypotheses on its origin. Two congeners of N. pustulatus, Nicropho...
