Right now I'm in Charles de Gaulle, about to fly home after EuroScipy 2010.

I just wanted to post the main impression from the conference: Cython 
appears now to be a very mainstream tool in scientific Python computing. 
At some point it felt like every other talk mentioned Cython favourably, 
and Cython was prominent in both keynotes. (It was also nice that Konrad 
Hinsen made sure to attribute Pyrex as well.)

I don't mean to gloat, but...well...it's hard not to share this: At one 
point a happy boost::python user got up and asked if nobody had heard 
about it, since he heard nothing about it. He asked everybody who had 
heard about it to raise their hand (very many) and then everybody who 
used it and where happy with it to raise their hand (and that was only a 
few).

(Of course, he didn't ask about how many were using Cython. Lots of 
people have only heard about Cython and are not using it. Still 
interesting.)

Apart from that, there's was lots of interesting people and talks :-)
