The first ever meeting of the Central Ohio Python User's Group will
be this Monday evening, details below. I've always thought Python
was a great programming language to learn, and here are some links
to projects that may make it attractive for many robotics tasks:

http://numpy.scipy.org/ -- multi-dimensional arrays for storing and
computing with large amounts of numerical data
http://www.scipy.org/ -- built on top of numpy, provides many math/
science/engineering type functions for linear algebra,
image and signal processing, data visualization. Much like
MATLAB in features.
http://www.cython.org/ -- translates Python code to C (for compiling),
optional tags for declaring data types translates to even
faster C code, has full access to existing Python and C code.

http://www.jython.org/ -- Python in the JVM, plays well with existing
java libraries.

> All,
>
> I just wanted to let you know that I am forming a Python user's group and
> that our first meeting will be Monday, September 28 at 6:30pm at
> TechColumbus. TechColumbus is located at 1275 Kinnear Road near the OSU
> campus.
>
> Our first meeting will feature a talk by Jon Miller and his experience with
> using Hadoop with Python. Hadoop is an open source map/reduce framework,
> and is in use by a number of small and large companies to make
> fault-tolerant distributed computation easy. Jon recently had an article on
> this subject published in Python Magazine.
