FiPy: A Finite Volume PDE Solver Using Python

What is FiPy? FiPy is a computer program written in Python to solve partial differential equations (PDEs) using the Finite Volume method. Python is a powerful object oriented scripting language with tools for numerics. The Finite Volume method is a way to solve a set of PDEs,similar to the Finite Element or Finite Difference methods. Why a common code? Many interface motion codes for solving Materials Science problems at NIST. [via]
