PyData
Confidence 0.80 · 3 sources · last confirmed 2026-09-19
The educational programme of NumFOCUS (a US 501(c)(3) supporting open-source scientific computing — NumPy, Jupyter and similar), and the publisher of record for conference talk recordings on its YouTube channel.
In this wiki it appears as the channel that publishes PyCon DE & PyData — the German Python conference on open-source Python in AI and data science, organised by Python Softwareverband e.V. and Pioneers Hub in collaboration with NumFOCUS. The 2026 edition ran in April; the 2027 edition is announced for Heidelberg, 19–23 April 2027. Two further talks come from PyData events the channel does not name (one of them an online meetup recorded over a screen share), so the entity covers the channel as a whole, not one conference.
Worth noting as a source type: PyData talks are practitioner conference material — recorded live, lightly gatekept by a programme committee, no peer review, and often given by founders of the tools being demonstrated. That is a different reliability class from the vendor-marketing videos and the peer-reviewed papers the corpus also holds: closer to the ground than a vendor keynote, further from evidence than a paper. Where the corpus’s usual video sources are US vendor channels, PyData is a European open-source community venue, which is part of why it is worth tracking separately.
