We report an EVLA radio continuum detection of the recurrent nova T Pyx, which was discovered to be in outburst on 2011 April 14 (CBET #2700, IAUC #9205). The EVLA detected T Pyx on May 1.1 at 33.1 GHz with a flux density of 248 ± 32 microJy. One week earlier, on April 22.9, we measured a flux density of 16 ± 30 microJy at this frequency, which we take to be a non-detection. In addition, we observed T Pyx at 5.9 GHz on both dates, but it was not detected in either epoch, consistent with ATel #3310.
