Why pyOpenSci?

pyOpenSci promotes open and reproducible research through peer review of scientific Python packages. We also build technical capacity by providing a curated repository of high-quality packages and enabling scientists to write and share their own software. We hope to foster a greater sense of community among scientific Python users to help each other become better programmers and researchers.
