Calculating the t-score from a p-value in Python

Question

I have a p-value of 0.005 and a df = 120

I want to calculate bilateral t-scores in python, similar to the R command: T1 = qt(0.005, 120) and T2 = -qt(0.005, 120).

I have tried to understand whats happening in the https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.stats.nct.html#scipy.stats.nct but i cannot figure it out. Can anybody help?

You just need to use .ppf within scipy.stats.nct

Example:

T1 = scipy.stats.nct.ppf(0.005, 120)

Hope that helps!
