Announcement: open-source Python for 3D structural analysis
https://github.com/PetrKryslUCSD/pystran
Mostly intended as a learning tool. Lots of professional-quality functionality missing, I'm sure. But, shallow learning curve, and a decent number of structures that can be analyzed at this point.
Feedback will be appreciated.

This is super cool! Would you be interested in writing a news post about it on osarch.org?
I'd be happy to. I am just afraid it is a bit premature. It is just three weeks since I started writing it, and I've been the sole user so far. My intent was to really try it out next quarter, when I teach SE130B Matrix structural analysis at UCSD. Posting here I was hoping to get some test drivers on board... :-) There is a draft of the textbook that explains the basics (among other things, it is quite a bit broader), and that draft needs to be brought closer to the finish line. My point is: this is a work in progress. Very much so.
All feedback welcome.
No worries at all, either posting now (with disclosure that its WIP and early stages) and posting later or both are all great options!
