EMPython site is dead...delete from Topical?
A user just complained to me that the link to www.empython.org on the topical software page took him to a porn site. It appears that www.empython.org is not a live site, and instead gives you one of those IP registrar ad sites. After a while it sometimes redirects you into neverland, and maybe neverland has some porn sites. At any rate, does EM python still exist anywhere as a project? Do we want to archive the code somewhere (presuming someone has it)? We should either archive the code and link to it, or delete the link entirely if we don't have that code or don't want to archive it. I found the note below from April, but when I tried emailing rob (at) empython.org, it bounced. Thoughts? We'll see this happen again, so we should decide some sort of consistent treatment of sites that just vanish. --jh-- [SciPy-user] EMPython Robert Kern robert.kern@gmail....

Dear all, does anyone know who is responsible for the website: http://www.empython.org/? if I get it right, he should be Robert Lytle, former responsible for www.electromagneticpython.org <http://www.electromagneticpython.org>, now dismissed. do you know an e-mail address I can write to?
He's posted on enthought-dev recently. rob (at) empython.org -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco ________________________________________________________________________
Hey Joe, It is too bad that the site is gone. I went ahead and deleted the link from the wiki. If we are just archiving old code that doesn't work with NumPy, I think it would be more distracting than useful. On the other hand, if someone is interested in taking this project over, porting it to NumPy, and maintaining it that would be excellent. The most current version of the site that I was able to find is this from the waybackmachine: http://web.archive.org/web/20050620082840/http://www.pythonemproject.com/ Does anyone have a more recent version of the site and code?
