Editing SciPy (section)

== Scientific Python versus ScientificPython ==
In the scientific literature, SciPy is occasionally referred to as "Scientific Python (SciPy)". This is incorrect: the official name of the project is just "SciPy".{{Citation needed|date=August 2024}}

Furthermore, expanding "SciPy" as "Scientific Python" may cause confusion with "ScientificPython", a project led by [[Konrad Hinsen]] of Orléans University that was active between 1995<ref>{{cite web |title=ScientificPython |url=http://dirac.cnrs-orleans.fr/ScientificPython/ |access-date=2019-02-21}}</ref> and 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sourcesup.renater.fr/projects/scientific-py/|title=SourceSup: ScientificPython: Project Home|website=sourcesup.renater.fr|access-date=2019-02-21}}</ref>

"Scientific Python" is also used for the related ecosystem of tools.<ref>{{Cite web |title=SciPy Proceedings |url=https://proceedings.scipy.org/ |access-date=2024-08-22 |website=proceedings.scipy.org |language=en |quote=showcase their latest Scientific Python projects}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=SciPy 2024 |url=https://cfp.scipy.org/2024/cfp |access-date=2024-08-22 |website=cfp.scipy.org |language=en |quote=The Scientific Python community maintains a large ecosystem of tools and libraries that enable scientific research and development}}</ref>
