What weāre about
Enhancing the Python community and ecosystems, one developer focused event at a time.
Submit talks: https://bit.ly/bapyacfp š
Started in Nov 2008, SF Python is the largest, longest running community-run meetup in SF Bay Area. Each year, our dedicated team of volunteers produce 20+ developer focused, live events for Pythonistas to connect, learn, share, and grow together.
As a member of our community, you agree to adhere to our code of conduct. Please see our Code of Conduct page for further details.
Why do we put these events up?
We believe there is power in in-person interactions. Ā We believe in learning, sharing, and helping each other out. Ā And we have seen the results. Ā We have heard stories of people getting their problems solved because of the talks and the people they met at our events. Ā We have witnessed people grow in their career, from receiving their first internship to landing their first speaking gig at conferences. Ā We have even heard companies migrating to a different platform/technologies after attending our conference. Ā
We look forward to your joining this awesome community - be it attending our events,Ā giving a talk, donating your venue space, or supporting us financially via sponsorship!Ā
Hope to see you at some or more of the following events!
2 monthly meetups
- Presentation Night on the 2nd Wednesday of each month features intermediate to advanced level tech talks from Python Software Foundation members, core developers of open-source projects, and local software engineers. Ā
- Project Night on theĀ 3rd Wednesday of most months offersĀ aĀ chill evening toĀ hack on projects, get questions answered, mentor other devs, or attend aĀ tutorial. Ā It's usually held at various companies in SF so you get toĀ sample how different companies are using Python.
PyBay, a yearly regional Python Conference
https://youtu.be/EwK04nc4iyI
PyBay is the local version of PyCon.Ā It's a 4-day event in August with 750+ Python devs, 9+ workshops, 60+ talks, expo, happy hour, and a lot more.Ā Ā
Our annual holiday party
We think you'd agree that if you have been coming to SF Python's events, you have been advancing in your field. Ā So come celebrate the year with us. Ā We will listen to more amazing speakers while enjoying great food, drinks and live music.

SCHEDULED TALKS
š Extending AI agents: Custom tools and Model Context Protocol - Elizabeth Fuentes Leone
As AI agents become increasingly prevalent in production systems, you face a critical challenge: extending these agents beyond their base capabilities to interact with proprietary systems, custom APIs, and domain-specific tools.
In this session, you'll build a fully functional AI agent using Strands Agents, an open-source framework, with minimal code. You'll learn how to enhance your agent's capabilities by integrating three types of tools: native framework tools, custom implementations, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers
Eli is a Data Analytics and ML/AI Developer Advocate at AWS who delivers technical content in English and Spanish. She specializes in generative AI, RAG systems, and developer tooling.š Durable Python - Itay Donanhirsh
Donāt you hate it when a pipeline fails in the middle and you need to restart it at 4am? In this talk will present the concept of workflows built using Durable-Python. It ensures reliable execution, even in the case of infrastructure failures, without requiring any code changes.
Why is that important? Over time, things will fail in production. Restarting a failing workflow composed of many components without doing redundant, expensive tasks is hard. This applies to DevOps, Data/AI pipelines, and other long-running tasks.
However, developing reliable and long-running workflows is complicated.
To address this, in this talk, we will present an open-source project that provides a āserverlessā platform for durable Python execution. It ensures that Python code executed in the system is resilient to infrastructure failures and will automatically recover from the point it stopped without state or data loss. This allows developers to focus on the business logic rather than error handling and dealing with infrastructure faults.
Weāll brave a live demo implementing a long-running workflow, and explain how it works and the value it brings for building durable workflow automations.
Itay Donanhirsh is the co-founder and CTO of Autokitteh. Before that, he worked for Checkr, Lyft, Twitter, Google, and others. His experience with CI systems and developers' interactions with them inspired the creation of AutoKitteh, which is the subject of this talk.AGENDA
