I'm pleased to announce the first beta release of SciPy 0.7.0. SciPy is a package of tools for science and engineering for Python. It includes modules for statistics, optimization, integration, linear algebra, Fourier transforms, signal and image processing, ODE solvers, and more. This beta release comes almost one year after the 0.6.0 release and contains many new features, numerous bug-fixes, improved test coverage, and better documentation.
