There aren’t enough characters for us to tell you about all the incredible things that the sourmash package, a command-line tool and Python/Rust library for metagenome analysis and genome comparison using k-mers, does, but we promise that you’re going to want to check out this incredible package from Tessa Pierce-Ward, Titus Brown, and Luiz Irber!
💜 We would love nothing more than to have you join our ever-growing community of volunteers! We're currently expanding our editorial board, and could use your help.

😎 ZodiPy is a new Python tool for modeling the zodiacal emission seen by an arbitrary Solar System observer, which can be used for removal of both thermal emission and scattered sunlight from interplanetary dust in astrophysical data. One of the main goals with ZodiPy is to make zodiacal emission simulations more accessible by providing the community with a simple Python interface to existing models.
🗺️ Who doesn’t love a good map? And with EOMaps, from Raphael Quast, you have a Python package that makes it easy to visualize, analyze, and compare geographical datasets at your fingertips!
We don't even know where to start with all of the awesomeness in this week's newsletter, but here are the headlines:
💬 PyCon was incredible!
🤝 See you at SciPy
💌 Save the Date: pyOpenSci’s Open Source Fall Festival
📦 Python packages for everyone!
📣 Get involved with pyOpenSci: call for editors
🐍 Upcoming Python events for scientists

Thank you for being such incredible members of our community!
rdata, a package from Carlos Ramos Carreño, is a pure Python implementation that offers a lightweight way to import R datasets/objects stored in the “.rda” and “.rds” formats into Python!
You can wrestle with scientific-formatting yourself, or you can use the sciform package from Justin Gerber!
sciform is used to convert python numbers into strings according to a variety of user-selected scientific formatting options including decimal, binary, fixed-point, scientific and engineering formats, using documented standards wherever possible!
We're not going to lie, we got a little misty-eyed pulling together this series of short interviews from some of our @pyOpenSci Editorial Board.
We hope these interviews inspire you not only in your Python endeavors, but to also consider volunteering with pyOpenSci! We're currently growing our Editorial Board, especially if you have domain expertise in either climate or energy 💜
💻 pip install ncompare and get started comparing the structure of two NetCDF datasets!
ncompare, a Python package in the pyOpenSci ecosystem, created by Daniel Kaufman, generates a view of the matching and non-matching groups and variables between two NetCDF datasets.
Happy PyCon sprint day to all who celebrate! Come join pyOpenSci to:
📚 contribute to our guidebook
🚗 test drive a tutorial
🛠️ help with technical CI (and other challenges)
🔍 even get in there and typo-hunt!
We have ways for everyone of all skill levels to contribute! Plus you'll get to hang out with our Executive Director and Founder, @leahawasser (ask her about Juno - trust us!)
We're inviting YOU! to our pyOpenSci sprint, happening Monday morning at PyCon!
All skill levels are welcome - and we mean that! We have something for everyone! Whether it's contributing to our guidebook, test driving a tutorial, or helping us with some of our technical CI and other challenges, there's a way for you to contribute to open source.
