Best scientific packages in the open source by far, a library for everything, everybody knows it. Works on all kinds of systems. Available by default in many OSs.

You might not like it, but you can't leave.

Is it better than R? I am not so much into python (too embedded in R).

I guess I don't know. Whenever something tempts me to R, I quickly find that Python's got a good-enough solution.

R is better if you want some very specific, niche statistical packages.

Python is better if you want to combine statistics with any other compute process.
