The GNU Scientific Library is a library for numerical analysis in C and C++. It includes a wide range of mathematical routines, with over 1000 functions in total. Subject areas covered by the library include: differential equations, linear algebra, Fast Fourier Transforms and random numbers.

Qhull computes the convex hull, Delaunay triangulation, Voronoi diagram, halfspace intersection about a point, furthest-site Delaunay triangulation, and furthest-site Voronoi diagram. The source code runs in 2-d, 3-d, 4-d, and higher dimensions. Qhull implements the Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull. It handles roundoff errors from floating point arithmetic. It computes volumes, surface areas, and approximations to the convex hull.

Qhull does not support triangulation of non-convex surfaces, mesh generation of non-convex objects, medium-sized inputs in 9-D and higher, alpha shapes, weighted Voronoi diagrams, Voronoi volumes, or constrained Delaunay triangulations.

Perl is a general-purpose programming language originally developed for text manipulation and now used for a wide range of tasks including system administration, web development, network programming, GUI development, and more.

NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python. It contains among other things: a powerful N-dimensional array object, sophisticated (broadcasting) functions, tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code, useful linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number capabilities.

Pluggy is an extraction of the plugin manager as used by Pytest but stripped of Pytest specific details.

The dateutil module provides powerful extensions to the standard datetime module, available in Python 2.3+.

Kiwi is an efficient C++ implementation of the Cassowary constraint solving algorithm. Kiwi has been designed from the ground up to be lightweight and fast. Kiwi ranges from 10x to 500x faster than the original Cassowary solver with typical use cases gaining a 40x improvement. Memory savings are consistently > 5x.

Thin-wrapper around the mock package for easier use with pytest

python2-backports-functools-lru-cache is a backport of functools.lru_cache from Python 3.3.

Python bindings for GLib, GObject, and GIO.

The goal of pathlib2 is to provide a backport of standard pathlib module which tracks the standard library module, so all the newest features of the standard pathlib can be used also on older Python versions.

Pathlib offers a set of classes to handle file system paths. It offers the following advantages over using string objects:

1. No more cumbersome use of os and os.path functions. Everything can be done easily through operators, attribute accesses, and method calls.

2. Embodies the semantics of different path types. For example, comparing Windows paths ignores casing.

3. Well-defined semantics, eliminating any inconsistencies or ambiguities (forward vs. backward slashes, etc.).

Backport of funcsigs which was introduced in Python 3.3.

Pytest-cov produces coverage reports. It supports centralised testing and distributed testing in both load and each modes. It also supports coverage of subprocesses.

Nose extends the unittest library to make testing easier.

The SciPy library is one of the core packages that make up the SciPy stack. It provides many user-friendly and efficient numerical routines such as routines for numerical integration and optimization.

Beautiful Soup is a Python library designed for rapidly setting up screen-scraping projects. It offers Pythonic idioms for navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree, providing a toolkit for dissecting a document and extracting what you need. It automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode and outgoing documents to UTF-8.

Hypothesis is a library for testing your Python code against a much larger range of examples than you would ever want to write by hand. It’s based on the Haskell library, Quickcheck, and is designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing Python unit testing work flow.

Certifi is a Python library that contains a CA certificate bundle, which is used by the Requests library to verify HTTPS requests.

This package is a backport of the functools module from Python 3.2.3 for use with older versions of Python and PyPy.

Pyro is a Distributed Object Technology system written in Python that is designed to be easy to use. It resembles Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI). It has less similarity to CORBA, which is a system and language independent Distributed Object Technology and has much more to offer than Pyro or RMI. Pyro 3.x is no longer maintained. New projects should use Pyro4 instead, which is the new Pyro version that is actively developed.

This module is primarily a backport of the Python 3.2 contextlib to earlier Python versions. Like contextlib, it provides utilities for common tasks involving decorators and context managers. It also contains additional features that are not part of the standard library.

Pluggy is an extraction of the plugin manager as used by Pytest but stripped of Pytest specific details.

Mock is a library for testing in Python. It allows you to replace parts of your system under test with mock objects and make assertions about how they have been used. This library is now part of Python (since Python 3.3), available via the unittest.mock module.
