We will be soliciting talks on the follow topics:

- Presentations of scientific tools and libraries using the
  Python language, including but not limited to:

  - Vector and array manipulation

  - Parallel computing

  - Scientific visualization

  - Scientific data flow and persistence
   
  - Algorithms implemented or exposed in Python

  - Web applications and portals for science and engineering

- Reports on the use of Python in scientific achievements or ongoing  
  projects.

- General-purpose Python tools that can be of special interest to the
  scientific community.

Keynote Speaker: Hans Petter Langtangen
