Title

How Python Slithered into Astronomy

Talk/Paper Abstract

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.

Title

matplotlib: Beyond the simple plot

Talk/Paper Abstract:

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.
