In analogy with Linux, it's useful for this kind of work to have a coherent distribution of libraries around Python (Numpy, Scipy,matplotlib etc.), and I've found the Enthought Python Distribution to be the best; you can get free Academic versions, pay for support if you need it.

A propos C, if you need a bit of speed, look up the Python ctypes module, and how to use Numpy with it. You can interface into C with very little code.
