This was my first reaction too, I've been using it for over a year and I had assumed patrons of HN knew all about it. For anyone who isn't familiar, this is a great library for getting machine learning code up and running quickly!
I don't see anything new here, but for any practioners like myself Scikit-learn and Spyder were the Python tools which finally moved me from a die hard MATLAB junkie.
Within about two weeks, and with a little bit of discipline, I became a MATLAB->Python convert. Spyder is a solid IDE, and Anaconda comes with all the packages you need (i.e. Matplotlib...).
All that's left now is to find a solution to MATLAB's excellent debugging. You can break to pydb in Spyder but the debug environment is nowhere near as functional as iPython.
This will be addressed in the following years by the WENDELIN project (http://www.wendelin.io/) which has recently been financed (well, we're still waiting for the contracts and the money, actually) by the French government.
