Visualizing the Lorentz attractor in 3D with Python and VTK (martinlaprise.info)

That's brilliant - I just learned about this in class a few weeks ago where we saw 2d simulations. Thanks for posting.

This is why Python is the "web language" of choice for people doing any kind of scientific or numerical programming. Libraries really make a language for certain applications, and Python seems to have an extremely broad range.

I think that would be the Lorenz attractor, named after Edward Lorenz.
