evaluating tools for statistical data mining and analysis of financial application

Many solutions existing including Matlab, C/C++. Java and Python

I choose Python for my projects because:
- scripting language = fast development
- easily translatable/migrate from Java OOP and integration through JPython or with C
- hook up well with R for stat analysis
- beautiful graphing
- free + open source
- great tutorials, documentation
