After more than a year of development, oscopy is sufficiently mature to
be released in the wild as 0.70 aka 20110921. During this
release cycle we focused on the API stabilisation and enhancement and
also the documentation.
It is now powered by IPython, and has improved support for data
post-processing and automatic recomputations on file update. And
http://oscopy.org is updated.

Please download this version, check whether it installs fine on your
system and report any bug you see.

Installation instructions are at:
http://oscopy.org/wiki/oscopy/install

The documentation is at:

Oscopy is a kind of oscilloscope on top of IPython. It features a
waveform viewer and support most of common math operations on data for
post-processing (arithmetic, trigonometric, FFT, ...).
Oscopy is a contribution to the simplification of the electronic
simulation workflow (change design->simulate->reload files->update
plots). On reloading of modified data files post-processed signals are
automatically recomputed and plots updated.
Oscopy supports communication with other programs like gschem that can
remotely trigger datafile reloading. Oscopy is designed to be easily
extended to a multi-purpose viewer with minimum effort required to add
support for new data file formats or new types of plots.
