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]
The canonical "PyCon" has run annually in the United States [19] since 2003 in Washington, D.C:
