How to pronounce“scipy”in English

scipy and then m-thot created a conference called scipy which was brought people together to talk about the space another conference is

scipy was something called special where i added bessel functions and like all these special functions that come up in physics and i added them as u func so

scipy you're not you can't tell them what you want them to do you can give them your priorities and things you wish you wish existed and they'll work

that scipy came out and it was separate library separate install use numeric sci-fi use numeric and so scipy you know 2001 released

created scipy and numpy because it brought so much joy to my life i appreciate that i mean the tip dark notion was there i appreciate that and i

and scipy needed numeric and so we effectively had the beginning of this split and numeric and number i didn't share

supporting scipy and numpy itself wasn't as possible like they didn't they tried i mean it was not just because it was just because the business aspect so and

the scipy and numpy and number and all these projects we already started can pay people to work on them and keep them going so that's labs quonsite labs is a

he created numpy scipy and anaconda numpai formed the foundation of tensor-based machine learning in python

there's num pai there's scipy built by different collaborations of people although travis is the heart of both of them um but numpy coming from numeric

let's go chronologically with scipy you create a scipy over two decades ago now yes right yeah i said i'd love to talk about sci-fi sci-fi was

proposals was that we would just write scipy and it would have the numeric object inside of it and it would be scipy.array or something

thought has played a role in the scipy in in supporting the community around sci-fi i would say they ended up not being able to

some of your loops like scipy is a compilation step to install sci-fi it takes about two hours if you have many machines maybe you can get it down to

draw from you having created numpy and scipy like in service of sort of answering the question of what it takes to be a great

to do something like that in python in scipy but just had never gotten around to it so when it came out that it worked only on the num array

language independent because even python in particular was important was scipy has a bunch of 4chan in it right and scikit-learn has links to a bunch of c

make the software better like make numpy better make scipy better make it it's it only works on open source so

this is the right approach the right thing to do with scipy it was like oh yeah the world needs libraries in python clearly python is popular enough with enough influential

my colleagues uh stan siebert identified this that all the projects in the scipy ecosystem um you know if we just rattle them off

when well let me ask you this if you look at the core scipy sort of collection of libraries that's scipy numpy map plot lib right there's ipython

how do we have millions of vans full of people that create numpy scipy that create python so you know the story of those people is

all together and call it sci-fi so that's the origin of the scipy brand it came from you know multi-pack and a whole bunch of modules i'd written plus

i really love that part of like the teaching so that that entered scipy's world in terms of we always understood that there's a didactic aspect of sci-fi

that about yeah conda it was early on like i said with scipy sci-fi was a distribution masculine library and he said talk to me talking about compiler

really my baby what is it uh what was its goal what is its goal how does it work yeah fantastic so scipy

extend it with a bunch of modules that allowed for and at the time the original vision of scipy was to have plotting was to have you know replied

plotting from yorick linked to from python anyway it was a people don't plot that way now but this is before and scipy was trying to add

kind of how do you take the knowledge and then produce it the challenge we had was the scope like ultimately scipy was everything right and so 2001 when it

on it easily so you had so it had an associated library of math operations and effectively scipy became an even larger upright set of

job and then actually what happened is the documentation people there's a group that said hey we wanna do documentation for scipy as a collective and they're

effort but but we are finally at quansite labs i'm actually paying people to work on numpy and scipy which is i'm thrilled with i'm

yeah it's very telling that when you look at all of the impactful big project well they're fundamental projects now in the scipy and pi data

top billing people were there and he invited me and uh travis and uh another one of her co-workers uh robert kern who is a anyone in the scipy numpy community

yeah because this change was happening as python scipy

python masquerading as a library how did you think about sci-fi in context of python in context of numeric like what we saw scipy as a way to make

for him i think he's they're doing you know their thoughts still exist they're doing great work uh helping scientists they still run the scipy conference

scikit-learn was a fantastic project that emerged kind of it was the the classic example of the scikits i still talked to earlier about scipy being too
