There are many 3rd party libraries available for Python but not IDL. Slither gives you access to those libraries.

We've also found it quite useful for writing "DLMs" for interfacing IDL with data acquisition hardware where multithreading is required. Rather that writing a normal C/C++ dlm, where you have to write the hardware control code and the IDL interface code, you can write the hardware control library in Python, and then with Slither call that library directly without writing any additional interface code.
