I am a modest graduate student in the high energy particle physics department. With an unreasonable aversion to C / C ++ and a grounded love of python, I resorted to python so far for my data analysis (just easy stuff), and I'm going to try to support python scripts against ROOT libraries and in particular use MINUIT to minimize parameters.
Also, asking if anyone had any tips on installing and using these products, I wondered if it's worth trying or just delving into the “norm” of using C / C ++, or if something like pyminuit can be used. Or do you think that I could put all the C / C ++ scripts into python code to use my existing self-analysis methods (so far I have no experience with wrappers). Sorry for the uncertainty; I am leading a great unknown that far outweighs my current experience.
