Python Conference

From HandWiki
Short description: Annual programming language convention
The closing panel of the 2010 PyCon Asia Pacific held at the Singapore Management University

The Python Conference (also called PyCon[1]:564) is the largest[2][3] annual convention for the discussion and promotion of the Python programming language.[4][5] It originated in the United States but is also held in more than 40 other countries.[6][7][8] It was one of the first computer programming conferences to develop and adhere to a code of conduct.[1]:565 The conference hosts tutorials, demonstrations and training sessions.[9]

PyCon 2020 was listed as one of "The best software engineering conferences [to attend] of 2020" and "As Python becomes ever more popular in the scientific community and for big data, the influence of PyCon will continue to grow."[10] PyCon is often attended by Guido van Rossum (the author of the Python language).[2][11] Other groups, such as PyLadies and Django Girls, often have concurrent sessions.[12]

It is sometimes referred to in software documentation and conference papers.[13][14]

It is organised by the Python Software Foundation, and is supported by many significant companies, including Microsoft,[15][16] Google,[17] and Facebook.[18]
