There about 400 Python user groups in the world. You can find the link to them in two places:

  • The list below which is sorted by geographical region, country, and state in some cases.

  • A world map of Python Meetups in meetup.com. Enter your country and city to list the local group if any.

If there is not a Python user group in your area, please check StartingYourUsersGroup if you are interested in organizing one.

Python User Groups are sometimes called PIGgies, for Python Interest Group meetings. The term PIGgies was coined by the Bay Area PIGgies group.
