Let’s make this year’s PyCon unforgettable! 
Python on HPC Clusters (May 26–27)
Using Python for research on HPC clusters? 
This free training dives into intermediate Python topics you’ll actually use as a scientist.
May 26–27 | 15:00–18:30 CEST https://buff.ly/1OX9Df9
Working on core array computing libraries that power #scientificPython? #EuroSciPy2025 wants your proposals on optimized array operations, vectorization techniques, and numerical foundations. Submit your groundbreaking work!
Dear LazyWeb: is there a C/C++, #RustLang or #Zig equivalent of #SciPy’s `stats` module for statistical analysis? Namely:
• a collection of common PDFs (probability density functions);
• MLE (maximum likelihood estimation) for these common distributions;
• KDE (kernel density estimation).
SciPy’s API is a pleasure to work with. Anything that comes close but usable from C/C++/Rust/Zig would make my life so much easier. Boosts appreciated for visibility.
Save the Date: #EuroSciPy2025 is Coming!
Mark your calendars!
Where: Kraków, Poland
When: 18–22 of August
Why: European conference for scientific computing in #Python!
Join us for cutting-edge talks, hands-on tutorials, and unparalleled networking with the brightest minds in the #SciPy ecosystem.
Whether you’re expert or just starting your Python journey, EuroSciPy 2025 is the place to be! Stay tuned for more details.

But wait, there's more! 
We are gearing up to release *napari 0.6.0*! Come be the first to hear about everything that's coming! There's cool new features, major bug fixes, and we are migrating to @pydantic v2 and #Python 3.10+.
And remember, you can add your own items to the agenda!
Not the right time for you? Remember that we have meetings for people around the world. 
Check out our calendar at:
https://napari.org/stable/community/meeting_schedule.html#meeting-schedule
See you soon!
(2/2) (fin)
Our next community meeting is coming up! Join us at 9am CET (Paris/Warsaw/etc) / 1:30pm IST (Delhi) / 7pm AEST (Melbourne).
Zoom: https://numfocus-org.zoom.us/j/83351642622?pwd=avon14qhl1ZTaxg91KP5z1OUrawi5d.1
Agenda: https://hackmd.io/9vo_DiJpSfuUExeGqVHbDQ
Community meetings are a resource for the napari community to get help directly from napari core developers in using napari or developing plugins. They are also a way to showcase plugins, cool demos, or new scientific use cases! We love to see them!
Or, just come and hang out!

Comparing a naive "nearest neighbor" #TravellingSalesmanProblem solver with a #2optSwap one, adding a #DelaunayTriangulation mesh, it shows how often the better solution falls into the triangulation!
The #py5 sketch is interactive, you can generate other random nodes and move them around dragging with the mouse.

I'll be serving as Editor-in-Chief (EiC) for @pyOpenSci's Python package peer review process for the first half of 2025!
Interested in reviewing scientific Python packages? Let us know at:
Scipy 1.15.0 is out!
https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/release/1.15.0-notes.html
Some of my favorite features are the new `differentiate` submodule that can compute numerical derivatives of functions with an auto-adaptive stepsize, and the brand new `stats` API that defines probability distributions as Python classes that you can compute with (for example `exp(Normal())` to create a log-normal distribution)! 
And I also did one thing! I allowed the `integrate.trapezoid` function to work with non-numpy arrays 
Optimal rational approximation using SciPy
In this article we solve a non-linear curve fitting problem using the SciPy library. SciPy is especially well-suiting to solving this type of problem, as it includes a variety of functions for fitting and optimizing non-linear functions.
Along the way, we illustrate how to use SciPy's curve_fit and minimize functions for this type of task. In addition, we look at some good practices to apply when solving this type of problem.
