The London Financial Python User Group (affectionately, LFPUG) has been starting in November 2009. As of September 2006, we've moved to this wiki page and the [[http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/apug|scipy-hosted mailing list]]. There's also still a [[http://python.meetup.com/188/|presence on meetup.com]], since several folks have requested the Python meetup through that site. We'll maintain both this wiki presence and the meetup until there's a clear winner. The London Financial Python User Group (affectionately, LFPUG) has been started in November 2009. Over the last several years, the Python/Numpy/Scipy toolset has steadily grown in popularity among quants. It now plays an important role in the trading and visualization systems throughout the financial industry. A number of London-based quants, traders, and other financial professionals have asked Enthought to set up a “Financial Python” user group.

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. Beginning in November 2009, Enthought started to organize a monthly event where people can meet and discuss Python’s use in the financial sector (best practices, new technologies, etc.).

Enthought's office is on the 21st floor. Once you enter the front door of the office, if there's no one there, proceed down the hallway to your right (do make the turns around corners!) and near the very end of the hallway, there will be a conference room, and we will be in there with the pizza and drinks.

Parking downtown can be tricky, though metered street spots are free at this time. There are also a number of parking garages around, though I don't know the fee details. 515 Congress does have its own parking garage but usually the security gate is down for the night by the time of the APUG meeting so you can't get in. If you do manage to get in, don't worry about getting out as you can always buzz the security guard to request the raising of the exit gate.
