About us

Hello MKE and beyond!!
This group welcomes anyone of any skill level and background who has an interest in Python development.

UPDATE: Previous organize Jack Camier now organizes meetups in the Dallas Fort Worth area in Texas. Texas has a virtual meetup, PyTexas, that meets the first Tuesday of the month. Jack has asked that PyTexas events be cross posted on this channel so y'all have something to attend. We hope to see y'all there!

One of the most wonderfully surprising things about Python, beyond the awesomeness of the language itself, is the great global Python community. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional, this group is about building a local MKE Python community and a bridge to the broader Python community. We're here to help each other grow and connect in a fun, low-key, welcoming environment. We are also a bridge to the broader regional, national, and global Python communities for those interested in plugging in.
We're always looking for speakers and venues to host either talks or workshops.
We're also always interested in sponsors. If you're a company looking to build a connection to the MKE developer community, please reach out.
Our meetups primary focuses are:

Introduction and Help getting started with Python: Installation, Coding Basics for all skill levels, Coding for entrepreneurs, Coding for kids, Building your First project, or Solving that annoying thing that should just work.
Data Science: Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, Juypter, Anaconda, Dask, TensorFlow, Keras, etc.
Web Development: Django, Flask, Tornado, etc.
Anything and Everything Else Python:
• DevTools: PyTest, PyCharm, pip packaging
• DevOps and Infrastructure: Ansible, Fabric, etc.
• IOT: MicroPython, Zerynth, etc.
\

Sincerely,
Kevin

PyTexas Monthly Meetup: Architecture Beyond the Diagram

Join us for our monthly meetup! The meetup will take place in the PyTexas Discord server, so be sure to join!

This month we are excited to be joined by Nishanth Sirikonda

Speaker: Nishanth Sirikonda
Topic: Architecture Beyond the Diagram: Governing Python Systems People Can Actually Change

Architecture diagrams can explain what a system looks like, but they rarely explain how teams should evolve it safely. Python systems often grow through rapid iteration, integration needs, and team-specific decisions. Over time, the challenge becomes less about drawing the right diagram and more about creating governance that helps people make better changes.

This talk reframes software architecture as a living decision system. Nishanth introduces a governance-oriented architecture model built around decision records, ownership boundaries, integration contracts, stakeholder alignment, and change readiness. Attendees will leave with practical ways to make architecture more actionable, reduce decision confusion, and help teams evolve systems without creating unnecessary bureaucracy
