I work in neuroscience, and use Python of signal processing. I've used
Matlab before. Python is just better.

I do not use either Sage or Enthought. Instead I have istalled a
vanilla Python and the libraries I need. The most important parts are:

- Python 2.5.2
- NumPy
- SciPy
- Matplotlib
- wxPython
- pywin32
- PIL
- Cython
- PyOpenGL
- mpi4py
- processing module
- gfortran and gcc (not a Python library, but I need a C and Fortran
compiler)

Less important stuff I also have installed:

- Twisted
- PyGame
- MySQL and mysqldb
- Python for .NET (http://pythonnet.sourceforge.net)
- VideoCapture
