[python-uk] saturday london python dojos?

[Paul Nasrat]

I'd be interested in a PSF style sprint in London - my main
contributions atm are to pip, virtualenv but I don't always have the
time I'd like for them.

I've also a few projects I want to do but haven't had time -
particularly around testing.
