Abstract: We describe our experiences using Python with the
SPaSM molecular dynamics code at Los Alamos National
Laboratory. Originally developed as a large monolithic
application for massively parallel processing systems,
we have used Python to transform our application into
a flexible, highly modular, and extremely powerful system
for performing simulation, data analysis, and visualization.
In addition, we describe how Python has
solved a number of important problems related to the
development,... (Update)

...rendering, sound, and network functionality. The applicability of Python as a control layer in largescale projects is well documented [2, 6]. In addition, projects such as Alice and PUB demonstrate the applicability of Python to gaming tasks such as virtual reality,...
.... languages have been used in conjunction with compiled code to provide greater flexibility, e.g. the SPaSM molecular dynamics code[BL97]. Pathfinder s use of a scripting language is inside the monitoring mechanism itself, rather than primarily functioning as a glue for...
