Python's capabilities include scientific plotting 5,26–29, GUI building 30–32, automatic Web page generation 33–35, and interfacing with Windows components 36,37 and with external programs like R 38 and Matlab 39. As hardware becomes faster, a computer's raw processing time is less relevant than scientist's time 40. Scripting languages allow the programmer to do more in less time, making Python an excellent choice for bioinformatics data analysis.
