2. Pandas (224120 downloads in August 2015):
pandas is a Python package providing fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with structured (tabular, multidimensional, potentially heterogeneous) and time series data both easy and intuitive. It aims to be the fundamental high-level building block for doing practical, real world data analysis in Python.
3. Scipy (169860 downloads in August 2015):
SciPy (pronounced "Sigh Pie") is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. It includes modules for statistics, optimization, integration, linear algebra, Fourier transforms, signal and image processing, ODE solvers, and more.
4. matplotlib (145772 downloads in August 2015):
matplotlib is a plotting library for the Python programming language and its numerical mathematics extension NumPy. It provides an object-oriented API for embedding plots into applications using general-purpose GUI toolkits like wxPython, Qt, orGTK+.
5. Patsy (47625 downloads in August 2015):
Patsy is a Python library for describing statistical models (especially linear models, or models that have a linear component) and building design matrices. Patsy brings the convenience of R “formulas” to Python.
6. Sympy (18086 downloads in August 2015):
SymPy is a Python library for symbolic mathematics. It aims become a full featured computer algebra system that can compete directly with commercial alternatives (Mathematica, Maple) while keeping the code as simple as possible in order to be comprehensible and easily extensible.
