<div CLASS="Body">GFESuite extensions such as Smart Tools and Smart Initialization
are written in an interpreted scripting language called Python. It is a
very powerful, object-oriented language and all the features of Python
are available to you. We also use a Python library, called Numpy (Numerical
Python in AWIPS1), which allows for efficient operations on grids of data.
The GFESuite software provides some additional methods to help you operate
on Numerical data. This tutorial will introduce you to the features of
Python and Numpy that are relevant to the GFESuite. If you are
interested in Python's full capabilities, visit <a href="http://www.python.org/">
their web site</a>. Specifically, documentation on Numpy
can be found in the <a href="http://www.scipy.org/Tentative_NumPy_Tutorial">Numpy Tutorial page</a>.
