Keynote talk, presented live at PyData Global, October 28, 2021. In this talk, I give an oral history from the early days of scientific Python and describe how Python ended up being used on a Supercomputer at Los Alamos. It a personal story, but one that intersects with a lot of the work that later formed the foundation for today's scientific Python.
