Hello all,
I was curious how each of you use Python for your calculations. Many engineers and engineering departments spend a fair amount of time to create and maintain spreadsheets. Do any of you do something similar with python modules?
For example, what I have been doing is building a python library that is the result of calculations that I find myself doing regularly. When I come to a new calculation, I will generally write a one-off script to get the problem solved and project moved forward. Sometime later, I will come back to the script and begin to divide it into general functions or sub-routines and move those to a separate module that stores these functions. I sort and organize these separate modules for reuse later, stored in a private GitHub repository. Any other calculations that are similar will then after import from my private modules.
Do any of you do something similar and have any things you have found helpful?
