16ᵗʰ Advanced Scientific Programming in Python in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, 25 August –1 September, 2024
by Tiziano Zito Feb. 23, 2024

Feb. 23, 2024

ASPP2024: 16ᵗʰ Advanced Scientific Programming in Python Summer School ====================================================================== https://aspp.school Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and debugging software. While techniques for doing this efficiently have evolved, only few scientists have been trained to use them. As a result, instead of doing their research, they spend far too much time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel. In this course we will present a selection of advanced programming techniques and best practices which are standard in the industry, but especially tailored to the needs of a programming scientist. Lectures are interactive and allow students to acquire direct hands-on experience with the topics. Students will work in pairs throughout the school and will team up to practice the newly learned skills in a real programming project — an entertaining computer game. We use the Python programming language for the entire course. Python works as a simple programming language for beginners, but more importantly, it also works great in scientific simulations and data analysis. Python is the standard tool for the programming scientist due to clean language design, ease of extensibility, and the great wealth of open source libraries for scientific computing and data visualization. This school is targeted at PhD students, postdocs and more senior researchers from all areas of science. Competence in Python or in another language such as Java, JavaScript, C/C++, MATLAB, or R is absolutely required. Basic knowledge of Python and git or another version control system is assumed. Participants without any prior experience with Python or git should work through the proposed introductory material before the course. We care for diversity and inclusion, and strive for a welcoming atmosphere to programming scientists of all levels. In particular, we have focused on recruiting an international and gender-balanced pool of students. Date & Location =============== 25 August – 1 September, 2024. Heraklion, Crete, Greece Application =========== You can apply online: https://aspp.school Application deadline: 23:59 UTC, Wednesday 1 May, 2024. There will be no deadline extension, so be sure to apply on time. Invitations and notification of rejection will be sent by Sunday 26 May, 2024. Participation is for free, i.e. no fee is charged! Participants however should take care of travel, living, and accommodation expenses by themselves. Program ======= • Large-scale collaborative scientific code development with git and GitHub • Best practices in data visualization • Testing and debugging scientific code • Advanced NumPy • Organizing, documenting, and distributing scientific code • Scientific programming patterns in Python • Writing parallel applications in Python • Profiling and speeding up scientific code • Programming in teams Faculty ======= • Aitor Morales-Gregorio, Institute for Advanced Simulation (IAS-6), Forschungszentrum Jülich Germany • Jenni Rinker, Department of Wind and Energy Systems, Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby Denmark • Lisa Schwetlick, Laboratory of Psychophysics, EPFL, Lausanne Switzerland • Pamela Hathway, YPOG, Berlin/Nürnberg Germany • Pietro Berkes, NAGRA Kudelski, Lausanne Switzerland • Rike-Benjamin Schuppner, Institute for Theoretical Biology, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Germany • Tiziano Zito, innoCampus, Technische Universität Berlin Germany • Verjinia Metodieva, NeuroCure, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin Germany • Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek, Red Hat Inc., Warsaw Poland Organizers ========== Head of the organization for ASPP and responsible for the scientific program: • Tiziano Zito, innoCampus, Technische Universität Berlin Germany Organization team in Heraklion: • Sara Moberg, Department of Biology, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Germany • Athanasia Papoutsi, Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology of the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas, Heraklion Greece • Maria Diamantaki, Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology of the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas, Heraklion Greece • Zampeta Kalogeropoulou, Digital Science & Research Solutions Ltd., Heraklion Greece Sponsors ======== We are able to hold this year's ASPP school thanks to the financial support of the Tübingen AI Center. The Institute of Molecular Biology & Biotechnology of the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas is hosting us in Heraklion and is taking care of the local organization.

[RELEASE] Python 3.13.0a4 is now available
by Thomas Wouters Feb. 15, 2024

Feb. 15, 2024

It’s time for Python 3.13.0 alpha 4 (now with SPDX SBOM OMG!): https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3130a4/ *This is an early developer preview of Python 3.13* <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-alpha-4/46042#major-new-features-o…>Major new features of the 3.13 series, compared to 3.12 Python 3.13 is still in development. This release, 3.13.0a4, is the fourth of six planned alpha releases. Alpha releases are intended to make it easier to test the current state of new features and bug fixes and to test the release process. During the alpha phase, features may be added up until the start of the beta phase (2024-05-07) and, if necessary, may be modified or deleted up until the release candidate phase (2024-07-30). Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is *not* recommended for production environments. Many new features for Python 3.13 are still being planned and written. Work continues apace on both the work to remove the Global Interpeter Lock <https://peps.python.org/pep-0703/>, and to improve Python performance. The most notable changes so far: - In the interactive interpreter, exception tracebacks are now colorized by default <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#improved-error-messages>. - A preliminary, *experimental* JIT was added <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#experimental-jit-compiler>, providing the ground work for significant performance improvements. - Docstrings now have their leading indentation stripped <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#other-language-changes>, reducing memory use and the size of .pyc files. (Most tools handling docstrings already strip leading indentation.) - PEP 594 (Removing dead batteries from the standard library) <https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/> scheduled removals of many deprecated modules: aifc, audioop, chunk, cgi, cgitb, crypt, imghdr, mailcap, msilib, nis, nntplib, ossaudiodev, pipes, sndhdr, spwd, sunau, telnetlib, uu, xdrlib, lib2to3. - Many other removals <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#removed> of deprecated classes, functions and methods in various standard library modules. - New deprecations <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#deprecated>, most of which are scheduled for removal from Python 3.15 or 3.16. - C API removals <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#id10> and deprecations <https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.13.html#id9>. (Some removals present in alpha 1 have been reverted in alpha 2, as the removals were deemed too disruptive at this time.) (Hey, *fellow core developer,* if a feature you find important is missing from this list, let Thomas know <thomas(a)python.org>.) The next pre-release of Python 3.13 will be 3.13.0a5, currently scheduled for 2023-03-12. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-alpha-4/46042#more-resources-2>More resources - Online Documentation <https://docs.python.org/3.13/> - PEP 719 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0719/>, 3.13 Release Schedule - Report bugs at https://github.com/python/cpython/issues. - Help fund Python directly <https://www.python.org/psf/donations/python-dev/> (or via GitHub Sponsors <https://github.com/sponsors/python>), and support the Python community <https://www.python.org/psf/donations/>. <https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-alpha-4/46042#enjoy-the-new-releas…>Enjoy the new releases Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development and these releases possible! Please consider supporting our efforts by volunteering yourself or through organization contributions to the Python Software Foundation.
