Welcome to SyPy
A group of Sydney based Python programmers who normally meet the first Thursday of each month. Our meetings are open to any coders interested in discussing FOSS, dynamic languages, web etc. There is an iCal feed of events as well.
We generally have a presentation or demo(s) every month which could be on anything you want to talk about that you think other python people will be interested in. Then we go to the pub.
If you have been playing with something cool and python that you want to share contact Dylan Jay (the convener) with your ideas and we'll book you in.
Dylan Jay is from pretaweb.com and can be contacted via dylan at companyname.com.

SyPy July 1st: Pycon-au debrief - by you
SyPy June 3rd: "python meets log" - Julian Orbach
High-quality logging is essential for problem-diagnosis and ongoing support of all but the smallest applications.
Python has a solution built right in: the Python logging module is a powerful and highly customisable component - and with that power comes some complexity and gotchas.
Julian Orbach will cover a broad range of concepts related to the logging module, to help first-timers, dabblers and experienced users get the most out of their own code.
