For obvious reasons, at Resolver Systems we’re big fans of using Python for financial computation. As such, we’re keen to promote the London Financial Python Users Group, which was founded by Didrik Pinte of Enthought.

If you’re in the London area and are interested in coming to the Group’s next meeting, here are the details:

Date/time: Feb 3, 2010 at 7pm
Location: KBC Financial Products at their offices: 111 Old Broad Street, EC2N 1FP (just opposite Tower 42).

All are welcome, but for security reasons you need to register in advance; just drop an email to Didrik Pinte.

The topics planned for this meeting are:

• Improving NumPy performance with the Intel MKL – Didrik Pinte, Enthought
• Python to Excel bridges:
  • “PyXLL, a user friendly Python-Excel bridge” – Tony Roberts
  • Discussion on connecting Python and Excel (xlrd/xlwt, pyinex, win32com, pyxll, …)
• Speeding up Python code using Cython – Didrik Pinte, Enthought
