T Pyx has been observed in eruption with Swift since 2011 April 14 (ATel 3285). Having become a bright soft X-ray source (ATel 3647) it was observed with the Chandra X-ray telescope using the LETG grating and HRC-S detector for 40,130 seconds continuously from 2011 November 3 to 4. The spectrum is very soft with little emission above 1.5 keV, it is dominated by emission lines of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and iron in H- and He-like ionization states.
