	usage
	   Use the module system to load this version of python: ``module load midway1; module load python/2.7-2015q1``

	RCC's Python packages include a large number of sub-packages that are compiled and tuned for Midway. A list
of all packages and their versions can be found by loading the module and running the command ``pip list``.

Since these packages are always under development, and are released on a variety of schedules, RCC provides
a new Python module quarterly, including the most up-to-date versions of each package at that time. If you have
specific version requirements that are not supplied by any of the RCC modules, please contact us for help.

The following table is a list of some of the largest and most popular libraries:
