The Winnipeg Python Users Group

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

We meet monthly, typically to listen to a presentation and learn from each other's experience programming in Python. 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 to be a member of the Winnipeg Python Users Group.

Feel free to join our mailing list or view the archives.

Meeting Times and Location

Meetings are held the fourth Wednesday of the month from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 or 9:30 p.m. They are held at the University of Winnipeg in Room 3M56.
