Community & User Groups

Python’s community has always been one of its greatest strengths. This section collects pages about local user groups around the world, advocacy efforts to spread the word about Python, and ways to get involved with the broader community. Much of this content dates from the era when the wiki was the primary coordination hub for community organizing.
