A Much-Anticipated Sequal: the PyHC 2024 Summer School
The Python in Heliophysics Community (PyHC) is excited to announce its 2024 Summer School, set to take place Monday, May 20th to Friday, May 24th at the prestigious Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) in scenic Boulder, Colorado, USA.
This year’s Summer School builds on the foundational success of its predecessor, offering an even deeper dive into the rich ecosystem of Heliophysics Python packages. Open to graduate students, early career scientists, and anyone eager to deepen their understanding of Python in the Heliophysics and Space Weather disciplines, this program promises a mix of in-depth tutorials, engaging demos, and hands-on sessions, delivered by some of the field’s leading experts.
Remote options will be available for those unable to make the trip to Boulder. The presentations will also be recorded and streamed to YouTube. Further, in keeping with PyHC’s commitment to knowledge-sharing, this year’s event remains FREE for all attendees.
See the Summer School’s web page for more information regarding the agenda, a link to registration (due by Monday, 29 April 2024), housing information (there’s a hotel option for reduced costs before 19 April 2024), and other pertinent information!
PyHC Spring 2023 Meeting Dates Announced
PyHC’s Spring 2023 Meeting will be the first hybrid meeting to take place since the pre-pandemic times!
We’ll host the in-person portion at LASP | CU Boulder, and online participation will be available at this Zoom link (Meeting ID: 973 7236 9069). The Zoom sessions will be recorded. It will be spread across three days, starting Tuesday, May 16th, 2023 and ending Thursday, May 18th, 2023.

You’ll also find links there for joining our Element and Helionauts chat groups (where we discuss various PyHC issues/topics, as well as discussing other Python-related questions), as well as a link to connect with PyHC on Twitter!
Registration Deadline: EOD, Friday, May 12th, 2023. Note: If you already registered and later decide to change your registration, you should be able to do that directly, but if you experience any difficulties please email Julie Barnum or Shawn Polson.
New Way To Cite PyHC
You can now uniquely identify PyHC as an entity with this ROR ID:
https://ror.org/012prn105
ROR is a global, community-led registry of open persistent identifiers for research organizations. ROR IDs function much like DOIs but they are used for research organizations rather than individual research outputs. Learn more about ROR IDs on their website. Let’s spread the word about this new citation mechanism!
New Website URL!
We are excited to announce that we have purchased the pyhc.org domain. A very special thanks is owed to Pete Riley with Predictive Science Inc. for making the purchase and handling the renewals. At present, pyhc.org redirects to our original heliopython.org. This will remain the case during a transition period until we fully move the website to the new domain, at which time heliopython.org will start redirecting to pyhc.org. Please note that HTTPS support has not yet been added to the new domain, so https://pyhc.org will fail to redirect but http://pyhc.org will succeed. This is only temporary and it is not a security concern because redirects are still sent to the secure https://heliopython.org.
PyHC Spring 2022 Meeting Dates Announced
PyHC serves as a community knowledge base for performing heliophysics research in Python, aiming to provide a variety of tutorials and resources, a list of useful packages, general discussion, and advice. Twice yearly, PyHC meets in person. These meetings are open to anyone, from individuals already utilizing Python heavily in developing open-source heliophysics packages to those who are just getting into using Python and open source development.
PyHC’s first meeting of 2022 will be held remotely on Zoom. The meeting will run Monday, May 16th, 2022 – Thursday, May 19th, 2022, from 9 AM – 11 AM MT each day. The Zoom sessions will be recorded. We’ll hold some tutorial, hackathon sessions, and project update sessions, as well as a couple other discussions that are relevant to the community. See the full agenda for dates/times of the various sessions. Note that the agenda is subject to change.
