Prabhu and I can’t decide: what is best for the documentation, have more pages, and thus have them be small, or have longer pages, but have less. Two specific examples:

It’s been two weeks since I posted a ‘Mayavi image of the week’. Prabhu has made a really cool example of integrating trajectories in a 3D vector field, using, of course, the Lorenz equation for the 3D field. With nice colors, it makes a new fantastic image:

The French LinuxMag just published a special edition on Python, in which I authored a 12-page article on scientific computing. The edition is in French, so if you don’t speak French, it is of limited interested.
Ce dossier hors-série est une excellente ressource pour découvrir Python, entre autre par …
The title of this post is a lure: there won’t be a Mayavi image each week, because I would run out quickly. But it sounded cool.
Anyway, here is an image of a graph, visualized with Mayavi. The graph is actually a protein structure, downloaded from the PDB. The …
When I started working in my new field (data analysis of functional brain images), I was surprised to find in our data-analysis scripts what I thought was a very particular code smell: the numerical code is always doing a lot of filename and path manipulation, loading and saving data even …
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 …
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 …
After Ipython and Sympy, Mayavi is now using sphinx to build its docs. Sphinx is very neat because it allows for high quality pdf and html from the same restructured text source. The killer feature is that the resulting html pages have a builtin search that works with javascript, and …
