We’re pleased to announce that Enthought has launched an informal Financial Python User Group in London.

Over the last several years, the Python/Numpy/Scipy toolset has  steadily grown in popularity among quants.  It now plays an important role in the trading and visualization systems throughout the financial industry.  A number of  London-based quants, traders, and other financial professionals have asked Enthought  to set up a  “Financial Python” user group.

Beginning in November 2009, Enthought will organize a monthly event where people can meet and discuss Python’s use in the financial sector (best practices, new technologies, etc.).

If you’d like to be informed about the details of these events, please contact me: dpinte@enthought.com or join us on the LinkedIn group.
