As far as I understand, the content of this years
EuroPython is far from decided. I haven't seen any
call for papers yet. You are obviously taking a risk
if you opt for EPC even if you like the PyCon program.

On the other hand, EPC 2006 will take place at CERN,
which might be interesting for someone with an
interest in science, so I suspect that it will attract
more scientists than previous conferences.
