[BangPypers] Python Month

[Saurabh Kumar]

Hi Anand,

Just filled up the form with the details. Looking forward for further
followup details!

I think it's is a great opportunity for everyone here. I am a python
developer with a day-time job and can help with few outdoor activities,
apart from what I can do with my laptop :P

Thanks,
Saurabh
