What we’re about

About PyMNtos
PyMNtos (pronounced pie-min-tose) is a Twin Cities group of Python enthusiasts. Some of us use Python every day in our work. Some of us are just hobbyists. Others are just learning. Whoever you are and whatever your skill level is, we would love for you to join us. There is no membership fee or any other barrier to entry.
