Hello, I am going to the PyCon this week. I am presenting a poster about an atmospheric sciences related project -- the most active development from my coding site over at http://code.google.com/p/ccnworks/ Is there anybody in the community participating there as well? Any plans for sprinting or

Here I am again with the text boxing and scaling. I'm having some troubles to understand the whole picture, since it seems that there are so many actors involved. So suppose I have some text and I want to see how big it is, I thought I could t = matplotlib.text.Text(0, 0, very long string)

On a similar note, are there any alternatives available to nearest neighbor? For example, kriging? I remember seeing a geostats library in python (hpgl i think), but I found the API rather impractical and difficult to use. Thanks, Aman On Mon, Mar 7, 2011 at 8:23 AM, Jeff Whitaker
