	If Matlab compatibility is a high constraint, I'll speak heresy and
suggest you might look at Octave
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Octave

	Python is stand-alone programming/scripting language. Numpy is an
extension package adding array/matrix math operations but the syntax
won't be a direct match to Matlab; Scipy is an extension package that,
well, extends Numpy. Matplotlib is a separate package for graphical
plotting of array data. {simplistic explanation}
