Just a thought, since the event is in September and online registrations will be 
(/are ??) open, why can't in-person registrations also simultaneously occur at 
the python user group meets ?

Unless i am mistaken the bangpypers meet every month and so to the Mumpy guys. 
In person registrations at these meets might be convenient for those who have 
already made up their mind to attend but cannot make online payment while also 
easing away at least some of the load off from the on-the-spot registrations.

So, someone from these cities can volunteer to collect registrations. We can 
have a cut-off date after which the volunteers in each city handling these 
registrations stop accepting any more and transfer the names and registration 
money to someone in Bangalore (I am assuming that the ability to do this 
transfer through online means would be a pre-requisite to volunteer to collect 
registrations).

I can volunteer to handle registrations in Pune (although we don't have regular 
meetings, i can always meetup with some of the members).

cheers,
