Thanks for the response. If there is not an active local user group,
maybe
it would be a good idea to start one. It can be a lot of fun and
professionally
rewarding, and a city like Portland is a great environment due to
all the free public spaces for congregating.

I would be happy to meet with you and any other Portland Python
programmers to talk about ideas for organizing a user group.
There is also some good discussion about it on the Python Advocacy
the mailing list, because PSF has begun an effort to foster and
promote
user groups.

Sometime next week might be a good time for a meeting during
a weekday evening at a dinner place in the main city center area
of Portland. Maybe by then there would be enough time to find others
and invite them to join us.
