Nipy is a development framework in python for the neuroimaging community (publicly available at https://code.launchpad.net/nipy ), developed mainly at Berkeley, Stanford, MIT and Neurospin. It is open to any contributors and aims at developing code and tools sharing.

Some parts of the library, are completely developed by Parietal and LNAO (CEA, DSV, Neurospin) to build algorithmic solutions for various issues in neuroimaging data analysis. All the nipy project is freely available, under BSD licence.

A coding sprint took place at Berkeley this year (March 21st-29th), with G. Varoquaux, B. Thirion and J.B. Poline.

The first release is expected in December 2009.
