I came across SAGE "Software for Algebra and Geometry Experimentation" http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ , which includes Python and
Numeric and consists of
Group theory and combinatorics -- GAP
Symbolic computation and Calculus -- Maxima
Commutative algebra -- Singular
Number theory -- PARI, MWRANK, NTL
Graphics -- Matplotlib
Numerical methods -- GSL and Numeric
Mainstream programming language -- Python
Interactive shell -- IPython
Graphical User Interface -- The SAGE Notebook
Versioned Source Tracking -- Mercurial HG
Maybe people who has tried this could give their impressions.
