In the context of the LHC Computing Grid (LCG) project, the Applications Area develops and maintains that part of the physics applications software and associated infrastructure that is shared among the LHC experiments. The "Physicist Interface" (PI) project of the LCG Application Area encompasses the interfaces and tools by which physicists will directly use the software, providing implementations based on agreed standards like the AIDA interfaces for data analysis. In collaboration with users from the experiments, work has started with implementing the AIDA interfaces for (binned and unbinned) histogramming, fitting and minimization as well as manipulation of tuples. These implementations have been developed by re-using existing packages either directly or by using a (thin) layer of wrappers. In addition, bindings of these interfaces to the Python interpreted language have been done using the dictionary subsystem of the LCG-AA/SEAL project. The actual status and the future planning of the project will be presented.
