EuroPython 2019: Warning - Spoiler alert!
by M.-A. Lemburg June 14, 2019

June 14, 2019

Usually, we try to have something as surprise for our attendees every year. However, for this year’s conference, we have decided to give our attendees something to play with and this needs a little more preparation than a bottle or a beach towel. Drum roll… crowd screaming… and here it is: we’re please to present the... EuroPython 2019 PewPew Game Console ----------------------------------- * https://ep2019.europython.eu/events/pewpew-workshops/ * The device was created and designed by Radomir Dopieralski, a long time EuroPython regular and enthusiastic Python device and robotics builder. The PewPew is a simplified game console, programmable with CircuitPython, a variant of MicroPython. It comes with a 64 LED display and a set of small buttons to drive the console. We will have one device per attendee with training or conference ticket and plan to give them out together with the badges. Free Workshops -------------- To teach you how to program the consoles and help with any questions you may have, we have arranged a special workshop room on the training days Monday and Tuesday, where Radomir and his team will run workshops focusing on the PewPew. You will learn how to write small programs and games. Our hope is that you will take this knowledge home and spread the word about how much fun Python is – especially for younger users. The workshops are free for EuroPython conference or training ticket holders, but please see our notes on catering on the training days. Help us run the workshops ------------------------- Since Radomir needs help with running the workshops, we are reaching out to you with this blog post. If you are interested in embedded Python, hardware hacking, game development and similar topics, we invite you to come help us running those workshops. This is a great opportunity to meet with Python developers and learn together, and we’re sure you will have great fun while helping other attendees. Whether it’s just lending a hand getting things working, or running a whole workshop – it’s up to you, either way we will greatly appreciate your help. Please sign up using our mentor form. Many thanks ! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSefU0VMGA7QVO6DgO_9faHQ_Z4XcsfpRZ2… More information will be available on the PewPew workshop page: https://ep2019.europython.eu/events/pewpew-workshops/ Dates and Venues ---------------- EuroPython will be held from July 8-14 2019 in Basel, Switzerland, at the Congress Center Basel (CCB) for the main conference days (Wed-Fri) and the FHNW Muttenz for the workshops/trainings/sprints days (Mon-Tue, Sat-Sun).

ANN: czml3 0.1.0 released 🌍
by Juan Luis Cano Rodríguez June 13, 2019

June 13, 2019

Hi all, It fills us with astronomical joy to announce the release of czml3 0.1.0! 🌍 czml3 is a Python (3.6+) library to write CZML. Copying from the CZML Guide: > CZML is a JSON format for describing a time-dynamic graphical scene, > primarily for display in a web browser running Cesium. It describes > lines, points, billboards, models, and other graphical primitives, and > specifies how they change with time. While Cesium has a rich > client-side API, CZML allows it to be data-driven so that a generic > Cesium viewer can display a rich scene without the need for any custom > code. In many ways, the relationship between Cesium and CZML is > similar to the relationship between Google Earth and KML. czml3 aims to be useful for interactive use: >>> from czml3 import Packet >>> Packet() { "id": "adae4d3a-7087-4fda-a70b-d18a262a890e" } >>> packet0 = Packet(id="Facility/AGI", name="AGI") >>> packet0 { "id": "Facility/AGI", "name": "AGI" } >>> packet0.dumps() '{"id": "Facility/AGI", "name": "AGI"}' This first release is far from complete, but already has the core functionality and many basic properties that allow users to visualize Earth orbits. You can install it with pip: pip install czml3 And check out the repository on GitHub, which contains a more detailed README, tests (>99 % coverage) and the issue tracker: https://github.com/poliastro/czml3 If you have any questions or want to contribute, join our chat! https://chat.openastronomy.org/#/room/#poliastro-czml:matrix.org czml3 is similar in intent to czml, a Python library written by Christian Ledermann. czml3 is implemented from scratch and tries to be easier to use on an interactive interpreter, and (for the moment) focuses only on writing. Per Python ad astra!

ANN: Astropy v3.2 released
by Erik Tollerud June 13, 2019

June 13, 2019

Dear colleagues, We are very happy to announce the v3.2 release of the Astropy package, a core Python package for Astronomy: http://www.astropy.org Astropy is a community-driven Python package intended to contain much of the core functionality and common tools needed for astronomy and astrophysics. It is part of the Astropy Project, which aims to foster an ecosystem of interoperable astronomy packages for Python. New and improved major functionality in this release includes: * New Sub-package for Time Series * New SI/CODATA 2018 Constants * Additions and changes to Ecliptic Transformations * Table performance improvements and change in metadata handling * Table I/O integration of pandas I/O functions for ASCII tables * Improved help on Table read() and write() methods In addition, hundreds of smaller improvements and fixes have been made. An overview of the changes is provided at: http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/3.2.html Note that the Astropy 3.x series only supports Python 3. Python 2 users can continue to use the 2.x (LTS) series (but without new features). Instructions for installing Astropy are provided on our website, and extensive documentation can be found at: http://docs.astropy.org If you make use of the Anaconda Python Distribution, you can update to Astropy v3.2 with: conda update astropy Whereas if you usually use pip, you can do: pip install astropy --upgrade Please report any issues, or request new features via our GitHub repository: https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues Over 300 developers have contributed code to Astropy so far, and you can find out more about the team behind Astropy here: http://www.astropy.org/team.html As a reminder, Astropy v2.0 (our long term support release) will continue to be supported with bug fixes (but no new features) until the end of 2019, so if you need to use Astropy in a very stable environment, you may want to consider staying on the v2.0.x set of releases (for which we have recently released v2.0.13). If you use Astropy directly for your work, or as a dependency to another package, please remember to acknowledgment it by citing the appropriate Astropy paper. For the most up-to-date suggestions, see the acknowledgement page, but as of this release the recommendation is: This research made use of Astropy, a community-developed core Python package for Astronomy (Astropy Collaboration, 2018). where (Astropy Collaboration, 2018) is a reference to https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-3881/aabc4f Special thanks to the coordinator for this release: Brigitta Sipocz. We hope that you enjoy using Astropy as much as we enjoyed developing it! Erik Tollerud, Tom Robitaille, Kelle Cruz, and Tom Aldcroft on behalf of The Astropy Collaboration
