You can find all of the material for the introductory sessions of scientific python and sunpy can be found here.
Steven Christe (@ehsteve) and Stuart Mumford (@Cadair) got to attend the (great) Python in Astronomy conference which took place in Seattle Washington from 21-25th of March 2016.
I wanted to keep people in the loop about what is happening in the SunPy project, so I thought I would start sending out monthy updates about things that have happened and things that are going to happen. This update might be a little longer than usual due to the fact it’s the first one, and I want to get everyone up to speed. Before I start I just wanted to introduce myself just incase any of you have had the fortune of not knowing. I am Stuart Mumford, I submitted my PhD thesis last week at the University of Sheffield. I am currently lead developer of the SunPy project (again) having taken over from Albert.
A poster on SunPy was presented at the SPD 2014 Meeting which took place in Boston. A copy of the poster is available online in the sunpy/presentations repo on github.
The latest version of SunPy along with an introduction to scientific computing in Python was presented at the 13th RHESSI Workshop on April 3rd, 2014. The presentation was well attended by about 20 people, a significant fraction of the total conference attendees! You can find the presentations (in the form of ipython notebooks) at the following locations
Just over a year ago this post described a simple method for saving a movie of SunPy maps. Since then, SunPy and matplotlib have moved on, and I’d like to describe an updated method for animating SunPy maps, and saving the results as an mp4 file.
This year I was lucky enough to be able to attend the annual Scientific Python conference (SciPy 2013) in Austin, Texas. This was very kindly supported by a sponsorship from the conference organisers and sponsors.
