About us
PyLadies Boston is a part of an international mentorship group for marginalized genders, such as but not limited to non-binary people, trans people, and women in tech, with a focus on helping our community become active participants and leaders in the Python open-source community.
All skill levels welcome! We welcome Python enthusiasts, developers, and programmers of all coding proficiency levels in the Greater Boston, Massachusetts area and throughout New England and beyond.
Python is an amazing first programming language if you are interested in learning or just starting out. Our mission is to empower more women, trans, and nonbinary folks to code and contribute to the open source community. Please join us at our meetups!
We strive to be a welcoming and safe environment for all attendees, and we ask all attendees to treat others respectfully. We take the PyLadies Code of Conduct very seriously, and the full version can be accessed at the provided link. If you experience any potential violations to the code of conduct during any of our meetup events or in any PyLadies Boston forum or platform, please report the incident to the organizers.
