Python project to model plasma - This is awesome.

[Michael Mozina]

This is cool. While I've never programmed in Python, this project is sure to motivate me to learn how to use Python.

A vision for an open source core Python package for plasma physics
About PlasmaPy

PlasmaPy is a community-developed and community-driven free and open source Python package that provides common functionality required for plasma physics in a single, reliable code base.
Motivation

In recent years, researchers in many different scientific disciplines have worked together to develop core Python packages such as Astropy, SunPy, and SpacePy. These packages provide core functionality, common frameworks for data visualization and analysis, and educational tools for their respective scientific disciplines. We believe that a similar cooperatively developed package for plasma physics will greatly benefit our field. In this document, we lay out our vision for PlasmaPy: a community-developed and community-driven open source core Python software package for plasma physics.

neat. I use python for my raspberry pi's.

youll pick it up no problem.

I saw that before.
There is actually not much code in it.
Most of it are just placeholders.
The Physics library contains almost nothing, which is kind of the essence of the simulation.

What this program needs is a good physics simulation.
One that defines an area (3D +1D for time) filled with plasma and uses the common sense
physically proven electromagnetic forces, pressures, gravity etc in it.
I don't think they will make it though, because it will break with all the
mainstream over-simplifications of plasma.
