ANN Join ChiPy on Thursday August 13, 2009 Matplotlib, best meeting ever.

[Brian Ray]

Chicago Python User Group
=========================

We welcome back Dr John Hunter. Matplotlib is probably the most  
popular open source 2D plotting library ever. It has multiple  
rendering engines, supports tons of plot formats, and even typesets  
complicated equations properly.  Matplotlib, makes "easy things easy  
and hard things possible. "

Our host for the meeting is Sully's House Tap Room & Grill.  All ages  
are welcome to this Free Private Event.  For those of age, Sully’s  
House offer 20 Beers on tap, and 35 Bottles - all craft and  
microbrewery, specializing in Belgium, Irish and German selections.   
Enjoy great Bar Food & Pizza from our Italian Oven and Daily  
discounted menu specials. The host has given us a dedicated  
bartender.  We will meet in the private party room on the second floor  
that is well equipped with top of the line video equipment – 100” HD  
screen & full A/V accessibility with Rock Band & Wii. Nice big space,  
bring a friend. Thanks Sully's!!!

This *will* be our best meeting yet.  Put this on your calendar. All  
levels welcome! New to Python, welcome. Scientist, welcome. Financial  
plotting people, welcome. Curious... come on up to the second floor at
