Hi Anand,

Thanks for the numbers. I am sorry I just forgot to mention that it was the
Bangalore Python users meetup group that has 570 numbers(as of 15th August,
2013) and not the Bangalore python users group (BPUG). I am sorry I am not
on the admin list for BPUG. So I am not talking about the BPUG group.

http://www.meetup.com/BangPypers/. I was talking about this group.

Sorry for the confusion. And my questions still hold good.

Thanks for survey idea. Its been on my mind for quite some time. Time to
bring it into action.

Warm regards,
Annapoornima
