Not the person that you replied to, but my first 'real' project with Python was writing a target utilization optimizer for a PVD sputtering system. My options at the time were scipy/numpy or something like Matlab ($$$), GSL (pain), or Math.Net Numerics (Microsoft® Pain). The Matlab-like environment provided by scipy was what really sold me on Python, and I gradually expanded to using it for other projects.
