International Python conference was held at Symbiosis, Pune this year.
16th Friday to 18th Sunday was full packed with lots of talks on python.
I don't see any point in telling what is python, you can always wiki it.
The conference day 1 was friday so most of the developers working in companies did not attended. It was day of tutorials, 3 hours two session with a great lunch and tea in between.
I attended "web scrapping" in morning and then moved to "python with other languages" for next, but came out in between as the guy was freaking me out, but i guess i missed few cool things in next half.
Day 2 started with a key note and then many talks, same was Day 3. Raymond Hettinger was the attraction, who is working in python from long time and also gives training to google people on python.
Was shocked to see many colleagues there, normally they do not attend any conference. Me and one of my friend are always interested in conferences, it gives a kick start for any technology and then you can advance anytime easily.
Most of them visited the conference because their final year project is related to web or maybe they need python somewhere, which was not case with me.
The talks i loved personally were(in no particular order):
Python on android
Kivy framework for NUI
Subclassing in Python
Decorators
Web Scrapping
and few more..
There was a good talk on emacs too.
It was altogether 3days of world with technology and people who are master in that. I myself planned to give a lightning talk, but was not prepared, so next time in next conference :)
Heard Ruby Conference is going to be Pune, looking forward for it.
