SUMMARY:SMACK 9: The Python Ecosystem for Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:SMACK 9: The Python Ecosystem for Astronomy\nJorge A. Pérez Pr
 ieto\n\n \nIn the last decade, Python went from being a moderated-used pro
 gramming language in the astronomical community to the de-facto standard i
 n Astronomy. Its recent growth has been spectacular, thanks to the coordin
 ation and work of the community to create astropy, the core astronomy libr
 ary, as well as other base libraries like numpy and matplotlib. However, t
 he current scientific/astronomical ecosystem for Python is huge and sparse
 , introducing many types of objects and methods, often confusing at the be
 ginning.\n \nIn this SMACK talk I will describe the current status of
  the Python ecosystem for astronomy and introduce the most import elements
  of the core libraries, numpy and astropy, showing with practical examples
  how they provide new impressive capabilities to deal with data, catalogs,
  coordinates and much more, making life easier for astrophysicists.
