On the PSF-Community list, a Python user points out that LIGO uses 
Python, with numpy and IPython, extensively.  He linked to
https://losc.ligo.org/s/events/GW150914/GW150914_tutorial.html
which explains, with code, how the gravity wave signal was pulled out of 
the (publicly available) raw data.  I found it an interesting read.
