Free Software Products

Enthought publishes a large portion of the code as free software, (the Enthought Tool Suite, available under a BSD-style license).

The Enthought Tool Suite include:

* Envisage: An extensible plug-in architecture for scientific applications, inspired by Eclipse and NetBeans in the Java world.
* Traits: A manifest type definition library for Python that provides initialization, validation, delegation, notification, and visualization. The Traits package is the foundation of the Enthought Tool Suite, underlying almost all other packages. It includes:
** TraitsUI: A GUI support for Traits-based objects, supporting a Model-View-Controller architecture. It is currently based on the wxPython toolkit.
** VET: View Editing Tool, for building Traits user interfaces.
* TVTK: Traits-based wrapper for VTK, a 3-D Visualization Toolkit.
* MayaVi 2: 2-D/3-D scientific data visualization as an envisage plug-in.
* Kiva: A multi-platform DisplayPDF drawing engine that supports multiple output backends, including Windows, GTK, and Macintosh native windowing systems, a variety of raster image formats, PDF, and PostScript.
* Chaco: An interactive 2-D plotting toolkit for Python.
* Endo: An API documentation formatter that supports Traits-based code by extracting both docstrings and attribute assignment comments. It uses the DocUtils package and outputs to HTML.
