As promised, here is the sequel to the tutorial I posted yesterday on using Mayavi with scipy to understand the trajectories of a particle in a potential. (chances are you are reading this before my previous post. I suggest you first jump to my previous post, and then come back …
Many years ago, I was working with a bright undergrad on the trajectories of a atoms in a complex light field created by the intersection of two laser beams. She had developped a code in C, and I was starting to discover Python, so we had binded in t in …
Pauli Virtanen and myself have finally finished transfering the numpy documentation editor to http://docs.scipy.org. The documentation editor is a project that has been mainly championed by Pauli. It allows you to edit in a wiki-like fashion the documentation for numpy, including the docstring. The changes are reviewed …
David just blogged a link to an article about careers in higher education. I thought the paragraph on the French system was so much to the point that I would like to quote it entirely here:
In France, the access to a first permanent position as maître de conférences occurs …
This summer has been hectic (life is hectic anyhow!). As I was switching fields from physics to neuro-imaging, I took the chance to travel to the US and to spend the summer doing Python-related stuff.
I spent most of my time this summer at Enthought, in Austin, Texas …
The SciPy conference proceedings are finally available online: http://conference.scipy.org/proceedings/SciPy2008 .
I hope you enjoy them. I find it great to have this set of excellent articles talking about works done with, or for, Python in science. For me, it is a reference to remember what was …
Suppose you have a dynamic website using turbogears, and you want to publish part of the content of this dynamic site to a static website, for instance to garanty its perenity. Well turbogears makes it really hard for you to do this. On the mailing lists they pretty …
pyreport is a program that runs a python script and captures its output, compiling it to a pretty report in a pdf or an html file. It can display the output embedded in the code that produced it …
I have been planning to make a more interesting post highlighting the large trends of the SciPy2008 conference, but it is 3AM local time, and I am still hacking on Mayavi, so I think I’ll keep it short.
As far a the conference program goes, we can see a …
I am delighted to announce that the Python Software Foundation has answered our call and is providing sponsoring to the SciPy08 conference.
We will use this money to sponsor the registration fees and travel for up to 10 college or graduate students to attend the conference. The PSF did not …
