Wrapping up

  • Python and Science

    • The language lured me in...
    • But I stayed for the community!
    • This conversation is only getting better!

  • IPython

    • Language-agnostic protocols for interactive computing.
    • Open format for sharing, collaboration, publication.
    • Tools for all Pythonistas, not just scientists.

  • Thank you!

    • Guido van Rossum, Python-dev.
    • Diana Clarke, Dave Wolever, PyCon'14 team!
