Info
Welcome to the ChiPy website! There is a mailing list. Check out our current members list. Some of us like to hang out in the IRC #chipy channel on irc.freenode.net.
Meetings
Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month. The location varies from month to month, so check here, or on the mailing list, as each month's meeting approaches.
Past Meetings have been held in a variety of locations in Chicago including the occasional one in the surrounding suburbs.
Sign up with the chipy mailing list for up to date information about upcoming meetings; the listing below is not always updated much in advance!
Also, for information about potential meeting venues in the future, please see Potential Future Meeting Venues.
Note that ChiPy is not a formal organization. We collect no dues, elect no officers, and keep no roster. Signing up for the mailing list carries no obligation. Nor does showing up at the meetings. Nor, at least so far, does anything else we have done, although we always appreciate it when our presenters show up. (They usually do!)
Who
ChiPy is made up of people of all levels of programming and Python knowledge. At every meeting we have had both beginning programmers, people who are just starting to use Python, as well as experienced Python programmers. Don't be intimidated about coming to a meeting.
Book Reviews
ChiPy members have reviewed several books for O'Reilly and Apress. A collection of the reviews can be found on the reviews page.
One Laptop Per Child Chicago Interest Group
Related to Python is the One Laptop Per Child project, which uses Python as its primary programming language. We also have a Chicago OLPC Interest Group, if you're interested in checking that out.
