Two useful Python tools - dimpy and tablefile for data analysis applications

Abstract

Abstract Python’s list array is more powerful than arrays in other languages like C, C++, Fortran, or Java. However, in some cases it becomes tedious and complicated to construct a multidimensional ‘list’ type array in Python. A Python tool namely ‘dimpy’ is discussed in this paper which can easily generate any multidimensional ‘list’ type array in python. Another Python package called tablefile for reading and analysing column-wise data from a data-file is also discussed. How these two tools may be useful and reduce steps of programming is shown by using some mathematics and physics related problems.
