- Dispatches from the field
[9/22/2005, 7:00pm PST, CalTech]: The first day of SciPy held a variety of talks (strangely, several on PDE Solvers). Travis Oliphant began with a crash-free presentation of scipy_base (the new Numeric)--followed by a lightning talk/discussion of the array object proposed for inclusion in the next version of Python. Boldly declaring the intention to work up a PEP on the new array object by the day's end (see Array Object]), stay posted for an announcement/discussion soon. Many thanks to John Hunter, Bill Spotz, Matt Knepley, Daniel Wheeler, Ruth Huey, Fernando Perez and Dave Brown.
[9/22/2005 8:00pm PST, CalTech]: During dinner, the vapor trail from a late evening launch of a Minotaur] rocket from Vandenburg AFB gave quite a show from the steps of the Avery Library on CalTech's campus.
[9/26/2005 3:00pm CDT, Back in Texas]: Friday's sessions proved as compelling as the Thursday presentations. Many thanks to all who attended and presented. Look for a poll coming soon to gauge opinion of several suggestions for improving SciPy next year.
- Online Registration Form - Registration is $150.00. If you have any questions, or would like to register over the phone you may contact Leah at (512)536-1057. Registration includes breakfast and lunch on Thursday and Friday, and dinner on Thursday night. Please register as soon as possible, as it will help us in planning for food, room sizes, etc.

- Abstract Submission deadline: July 29, 2005.
- Location:
- NEW: The meeting will be taking place in the Beckman Institute Rm. 134. There is no physical address for this building other then the main campus address. Dinner is being held at the Avery Library beginning at 6:30 pm on Thursday evening. This building is also noted on the map as the Avery Center.
- Below are some links to driving to Caltech, full campus map, and parking on campus.
- Note: Visitors to campus must sign in and park at the parking structure located off of Holliston Ave. You must check in at the Security office right as you enter the structure to get a permit for your vehicle. The number on the parking map is 66.
This conference provides a unique opportunity to learn and affect what is happening in the realm of scientific computing with Python. Attendees will have the opportunity to review the available tools and how they apply to specific problems. By providing a forum for developers to share their Python expertise with the wider industrial, academic, and research communities, this workshop will foster collaboration and facilitate the sharing of software components, techniques and a vision for high level language use in scientific computing. This will be our second year as a conference and we look forward to a wide range of presentation topics and continued growth in participation.
