====== Quanty.py ======

###
Would it not be nice to have the power of the functions of Quanty combined with the large set of libraries available in Python. We think it would.
###

###
When we first implemented Quanty there where good reasons not to choose Python, but pick a small script language. We needed something portable to many different systems where we do not have the rights to easily install python. Furthermore We needed a flexible script language, one giving us the option to modify standard behavior for specific cases. Garbage collection and memory management becomes a real issue when single objects can vary in size from a single bit to several gigabytes. Embedding [[documentation:lua|Lua]] and modifying the code as needed seemed a natural choice that worked out quite nice.

###
We are now in a situation where a next layer can be implemented wrapping the Quanty binaries into a Python package. If you know how to program (C and Python) think this is something worth doing and are looking for a PhD, Post-Doc or other temporary position, please feel free to contact [[wiki:user:maurits|Maurits Haverkort]].
