The Austin Python User Group was restarted in early 2006 on meetup.com. As of September 2006, we've moved to this wiki page and the [http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/apug scipy-hosted mailing list].
Meetings are generally the second Wednesday of each month at the [http://www.enthought.com/company/map.htm Enthought offices] at 7pm. The entrance to the building is on Congress; if the door is locked, you can press the intercom buzzer and tell the security guy that you're here to visit Enthought for the Python meeting. He should let you in and make you sign in.
