We are a friendly and enthusiastic group of Central Ohio Pythonistas. We meet most Thursday evenings for informal dojos, occasionally for lunch on various days of the week, and have a monthly meeting usually on the last Monday of the month. To have lunch at your favorite place, announce the time and place on the mailing list.
After our monthly meetings we like to adjourn to some nearby eatery to enjoy good food, good drinks, and good conversation.
We have code on our github repository, especially of challenges where people solved problems using Python in very different ways.
Usually on last Monday of each month.
We are looking for presenters. What presentation would you like to give? Please tell us here in this form.
We meet most Thursday evenings:
Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone interested in Python from complete beginners, to experts, and everyone in between are welcome to the Dojos. Bring your Python questions and problems. Digressions from Python are common.

Tom Wilcox will be doing a crypto workshop.
Tom wrote: I've decided we'll work together to crack some substitution ciphers. If you've not done so before, it's a lot of fun, esp. with friends. This will be a hands-on workshop, so bring your laptops if you'd like to participate. Reminder: we'll use Google Colab, which means as long as you have a Google account and are able to get online during the workshop you don't need to set up anything in advance. I'll spend 5 -10 minutes providing a quick overview of cryptography and cryptanalysis and then we'll jump right in. I'm hoping we'll have time to crack three different types of substitution ciphers, each type trickier than the one before it. I'll explain how the ciphers work, demonstrate techniques for cracking each of them, and then provide encrypted messages for us to crack collaboratively, using the new skills just learned.
We meet on the last Monday of most months. Presentations are given by members and friends of this group. If you would like to do a presentation (small or large) on a Python topic, please contact John Cassidy.
