Using Diffpack from Python Scripts

Diffpack is a comprehensive software library for solving partial differential equations. For the experienced user and C++ programmer, Diffpack offers lots of functionality, which simplify the development of new simulators. However, the nature of Diffpack/C++ programming is more detailed and cumbersome than programming in environments like Matlab and Maple. Coupling of Diffpack with other packages at the C++ level is possible, but requires quite some work and knowledge. Operating Diffpack through high-level Python scripts may meet these shortcomings. The Python language is very powerful, yet easy and very convenient to use, and provides a syntax and working style close to that of Matlab and Maple.
