Keeping Computational Fluid Dynamics (particularly using OpenFOAM) post-processing in Python allows significant advantages, to my mind. Transparency (did I hack my stats models to get lovely pictures that fit the data then say can't show it because of IP?) & risk reduction (does access to foundational code go missing when some business owner gets pissed-off?), namely.

Specifically, access to a whole ecosystem of data analysis capabilities [1]: the ability to hook into R-based [2] statistical modules from Python [3], in addition to Python-based modules [4]. Can be visualised in-depth via PyVista [5].

Other's thoughts? Alternative hypotheses very welcomed!
