The Central Ohio Python User's Group

About Us

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.

Weekly Dojos

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.

September Monthly Meeting

September 30, 2024, 6:00 p.m.

New Location!!!

Physical Meeting

Improving has graciously offered to host our meeting at their spiffy new office in The Bottoms close to the river. The entrance is on the south side of the building (on Rush Alley). The doors lock at 6pm, so you will probably have walk around to the northwest corner of the bulding and get the attention of folks inside to let you in.

Parking
You have to pay for parking. Free parking is a long walk (about 0.4 miles) away to the west, starting on Mill Street.

Improving
330 Rush Alley, Suite 150
Columbus, OH

We meet in person at Improving for the socializing and schmoozing, announcements, and presentation(s).

This month's presentation:

Virtual Environments by John Cassidy

John will give a talk about virtual environments.

Virtual environments make it easier to use third-party (not part of Python standard libraries) libraries. venv/pip, conda, and maybe pipenv will be discussed.

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.
