Python wrappers for software packages
Some software packages contain useful routines, but are not available as
Python extension modules.
Modules are defined for those external packages which hide the (command-line)
programs from the Python user. Hence a Python interface and syntax is available
to use the routines in the software packages.
Note that the routines in these modules are used in other places and their
particular names remain invisible. This is done to ensure easy replacement
of the package by (or comparison with) another package that provides the
same functionality.
