Physion Consulting is Hiring
Do you want to help change the face of basic science? Physion Consulting is hiring full time developers in the Boston, MA area to work on our upcoming scientific data management system. Demonstrable ability in software engineering, an interest in basic science and an appetite for learning are the only requirements. A CS degree or [...]

Tagged nsfDeprecating scikits.ann in favor of scipy.spatial
Now that scipy.spatial has a very competent KDTree implementation (in both python an C versions), Rob and I feel that it’s probably best to stop development of the ANN wrapper. It’s in a workable state and the code won’t be going anywhere, but any of our future efforts will go towards scipy.spatial. Give it a [...]

A colleague has been fighting with Matlab’s new object-oriented language features and Matlab’s hybrid pass-by-value and pass-by-reference semantics. His findings are quite interesting.
SciPy 2008 Proceedings online
The proceedings of the 2008 SciPy conference are now online. The articles provide a snapshot of some of the great work being done using SciPy as well as valuable references for SciPy users. Gaël Varoquaux has done a great job getting the whole collection in shape. Thanks Gaël!
Data type and byte order conversions for NSData using the STL
We’ve been spoiled working in Python’s numpy array library. Converting data types or byte order for numeric data in a numpy array is trivial (thanks to the work of numpy’s authors of course). When we’re in Objective-C land, the inability to change data types or byte orders on NSData instances is frustrating. So we’ve written [...]
scikits.ann in PyPI
After several folks had trouble getting the scikits.ann egg from the server listed in previous posts, I’ve uploaded the source and OS X 10.5 egg to PyPI. You can now install it via easy_install. Of course, you can still get it via the scikits SVN.
ANN namespace madness
I hadn’t checked the scikits Developer’s Trac recently. Apparently it’s now OK to use non-BSD (but OSI approved) licenses in the scikits namespace. So I’ve moved our ANN wrapper back. You can get it from the scikits SVN or via easy_install -f http://rieke-server.physiol.washington.edu/~barry/python/ scikits.ann if you’re on OS X 10.5.
