Hi, July was a pretty busy month in the world of Python @ Unidata; here are the highlights: ---Unidata is hiring!--- We're looking for someone to join our Python team as an entry level programmer. If you're interested in coming to work on MetPy, Siphon, and other things as well as do some training, please apply: https://ucar.silkroad.com/epostings/index.cfm?fuseaction=app.jobinfo&id=23&jobid=217975&company_id=15947&version=1&source=ONLINE&JobOwner=992772&level=levelid1&levelid1=45208&startflag=2 Or send to anyone you think might be a good fit. For more info see: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/unidata-is-looking-for-a1 ---SciPy 2016--- I was fortunate to attend SciPy 2016, and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend going if you have the opportunity. For the full write up of my experience, see: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/meeting-report-scipy-2016 Videos of talks are here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYx7XA2nY5Gf37zYZMw6OqGFRPjB1jCy6 My talk on MetPy's infrastructure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moLKGjbXvgE&index=80&list=PLYx7XA2nY5Gf37zYZMw6OqGFRPjB1jCy6 ---Farewell to our interns--- Summer has flown by! We said farewell to our summer interns, Alex Haberlie and Kristen Pozsonyi. Their summer here was very productive for MetPy. Alex added a bunch of spatial interpolation functions to MetPy, including natural neighbor interpolation. He also began prototyping some classes in MetPy to simplify the process of creating map analyses. Kristen greatly improved MetPy's examples, added quite a few calculations, and helped identify many places where MetPy needs to improve its experience for new users. Look for their contributions in future MetPy releases! ---MetPy Update--- In addition to contributions from our interns, MetPy also gained support for reading data from the University of Wyoming and Iowa State upper air data archives. These and other additions will be available in the 0.4 release of MetPy, tentatively scheduled for mid-September. To see more on the current plans, see: https://github.com/metpy/MetPy/milestone/6 ---Annual Training Workshop--- Just a reminder that Unidata's Annual Python Training Workshop is 17-19 October. Please share with anyone you think might be interested. For more information, visit: https://unidata.github.io/unidata-python-workshop/. Registration: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/events/2016TrainingWorkshop/ Until next time, feel free to send your questions and feedback.
