PyCon is a community-oriented conference for developers of Python applications and for those with an interest in the development of the Python programming language. It offers the opportunity to learn about significant advances in Python's uses and development community, to participate in a programming sprint with some of the leading minds in the Open Source community, and to meet fellow developers from around the world.
