Python, the language that wraps itself around a problem to squeeze out a solution, swallowing it whole (Aaron R. Watters) PyDas: Experiment Automation • PyDas – started as a simple “scripting hook” to Data Acquisition System • Convenient experiment automation either via GUI or command line scripting • Supports 11 different neutron scattering instruments (and growing) Come and see us @ PCM-26 SciPy Conference 8/21/2009
