| The Python conference world is changing. There seems to be a general feeling that, while there is still room for a full-blown InternationalPythonConference, the collective PythonCommunities should also broaden the audience by organizing lower-cost events. | = Python Conferences = |

| The second annual [http://www.pycon.org/dc2004 PyCon community conference], ["PyConDC2004"], is being held 24-26 March 2004 at George Washington University's Cafritz Conference Center in Washington, DC. This is a low-cost community-organized conference. There will be four days of sprinting on various projects before the con, from March 20 to March 23; see SprintPlan2004. So, if you've always wanted to see ExtremeProgramming in action, the PyCon sprint will be a good place to start. |
In contrast to the early years of Python and the original InternationalPythonConference series, the different sections of the Python community now tend to locally organise lower-cost events in several different locations around the world. Established events such as PyCon and EuroPython have since been joined by other regional conferences, and Python often features prominently in various open source conferences. |

| The first such event was [http://www.pycon.org/pastevents/dc2003 PyCon DC 2003], held at George Washington University's Cafritz Conference Center in Washington DC, from 26-28 March 2003. The major theme of the conference was '''''Popularizing Python''''' and it was a great success! A two-day "sprint" event was held before the conference with several teams working on different projects including the Python core, Twisted, Zope 3, and others. |
