<p>How Python Slithered into Astronomy

</p>

<h3 id="sec-3_2">Talk/Paper Abstract </h3>

<p>

I will talk about how Python was used to solve our problems for the

Hubble Space Telescope. From humble beginnings as a glue element for

our legacy software, it has become a cornerstone of our scientific

software for HST and the next large space telescope, the James Webb

Space Telescope, as well as many other astronomy projects. The talk

will also cover some of the history of essential elements for

scientific Python and where future work is needed, and why Python is

so well suited for scientific software.

<h3 id="sec-4_1">Title </h3>

<p>matplotlib: Beyond the simple plot

</p>

<h3 id="sec-4_2">Talk/Paper Abstract: </h3>

<p>matplotlib, a python package for making sophisticated publication

quality 2D graphics, and some 3D, has long supported a wide variety

of basic plotting types such line graphs, bar charts, images,

spectral plots, and more.  In this talk, we will look at some of the

new features and performance enhancements in matplotlib as well as

some of the comparatively undiscovered features such as interacting

with your data and graphics, and animating plot elements with the

new animations API.  We will explore the performance with large

datasets utilizing the new path simplification algorithm, and

discuss areas where performance improvements are still needed.

Finally, we will demonstrate the new HTML5 backend, which in

combination with the new HTML5 IPython front-end under development,

will enable an interactive Python shell with interactive graphics in

a web browser.
