We formed in 2005 and for 3+ years we met monthly to listen to a presentation, learn from each other's experience programming in Python, or occasionally work on a project together. Since February 2009 we have not been meeting regularly. Time will tell if this means we're dormant, taking a break, or winding down. We have members at all levels of experience from expert to novice, and our discussions aren't tied to any particular operating system or platform - so all are welcome. There is no charge to attend the meetings or join the group.

Meetings have traditionally been held the fourth Wednesday of the month from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 or 9:30 p.m. at the University of Winnipeg. As of February 2010 there is some discussion on the mailing list about moving those meetings to daytime and possibly meeting sometimes downtown, sometimes at the University of Manitoba.

The Winnipeg Python Users Group

Welcome! We are about 60 Python users in and around Winnipeg, Manitoba.

We formed in 2005 and for 3+ years we met monthly to listen to a presentation, learn from each other's experience programming in Python, or occasionally work on a project together. Since February 2009 we have not been meeting regularly. Time will tell if this means we're dormant, taking a break, or winding down. We have members at all levels of experience from expert to novice, and our discussions aren't tied to any particular operating system or platform - so all are welcome. There is no charge to attend the meetings or join the group.

We encourage you to join our mailing list. The traffic is low and it provides a point for connection to Winnipeg Python users for events, job offers, etc. There are archives.

Meeting Times and Location

Meetings have traditionally been held the fourth Wednesday of the month from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 or 9:30 p.m. at the University of Winnipeg. As of February 2010 there is some discussion on the mailing list about moving those meetings to daytime and possibly meeting sometimes downtown, sometimes at the University of Manitoba.
