In 2001 I attended the Python conference in Long Beach, CA. I
had just decided that Python was something I should use and the
conference provided me a (well-fitted) brainful of good insight. http://lairds.org/Kyler/photos/disk0...g/image_viewer
Now I use Python constantly. I'd like to get face-to-face with
Python experts so that I can better understand complex pieces
and discover new tools. I want to attend another conference.
It looks like PyCon http://pycon.org/
is always in Washington, DC. I try to avoid DC.
Python10 http://www.python10.org/
is also essentially in DC (Alexandria, VA).
Even the Plone conference (New Orleans) was on a coast. Do
Python users always have to be "on edge"?
Does anyone consider hosting a Python conferences in cheaper/
safer/freer/more central locations? (Say...Indianap olis?) I
see that there are some Python intros in Longmont, Colorado. http://www.python.org/community/events.html
That'd be a dandy location for a conference too. (It's been
awhile since I visited Estes Park.)
Thank you.

I'd vote for Chicago. Of course, technically speaking we're on a coast
also. It should be just about the easiest city to get to from anywhere in
the US though.

Given recent weather conditions, I'd think everyone would jump at the
idea of coming out here, to sunny Southern California for a
conference... (I missed the Long Beach conference, and D.C. is just
so far away...and much colder, brrr. :)

It's kind of hard to say "always" about a conference that hasn't had its
second iteration yet. ;-)
Python10 http://www.python10.org/ is also essentially in DC (Alexandria, VA).
"Is"? That was two years ago. The "formal" Python conference is now
associated with OSCON, which does tend to be on the west coast.
There's absolutely no reason why someone couldn't organize a PyCon
somewhere other than D.C. -- that's specifically why it's called "DC
2004" and why we called the last one "DC 2003". However, it's not clear
how much of a market there is for additional PyCons; given that the
change to PyCon/OSCON is only a year old, and given that the economy
hasn't fully recovered, you might want to plan your event for sometime in
2005.

Well, it does make it particularly hard to find a counterexample. ;)
How about Phoenix, Arizona? The only time we have a coast is if there's
enough money in it for lakefront real estate.
Effortlessly avoiding DC,

What's better about Ruby than Python? I'm sure there's something. What is
it?
This is not a troll. I'm language shopping and I want people's answers. I
don't know beans about Ruby or have any preconceived ideas about it. I have
noticed, however, that every programmer I talk to who's aware of Python is
also talking about Ruby. So it seems that Ruby has the potential to compete
with and displace Python. I'm curious on what basis it...

Can anyone point me toward some list of conferences? I'm looking for

Hello list,
our team is going to rewrite our existing web-site, which has a lot of
dynamic content and was quickly prototyped some time ago.
Today, as we get better idea of what we need, we're going to re-write
everything from scratch. Python is an obvious candidate for our team:
everybody knows it, everybody likes it, it has *real* objects, nice
clean syntax etc.
