What we’re about
Welcome! Boston Python is one of the largest local Python user groups in the world. Meet other local Python developers, learners, employers, and enthusiasts of all kinds. All skill levels are welcome: if you are interested in Python, we are interested in you! We have a code of conduct to ensure that everyone stays happy and productive.
We have great regular events:
Monthly presentation series: these are longish presentations (about an hour) about topics of interest to the community. Often we also have lightning talks (5-15 minutes) also. If you have something you'd like to share with everyone, drop a line to the organizers!
Monthly informal project nights: these are a chance to sit down with other Python developers of all experience levels to push your project forward, get help with a particular trouble spot, share expertise, or do whatever else you like.
In addition to meeting face-to-face, we have a few other ways to stay connected:
• Slack: https://about.bostonpython.com/slack
• Twitter as @bostonpython
Job postings on the Meetup.com mailing list are OK, as long as they meet the Job Posting Requirements.
If you'd like to help financially, you can make a tax-deductible contribution at donate.bostonpython.com.

See all- Packaging and Deployment: the structure of a Python packageLink visible for attendees
Hello!
This is the third session of the Boston Python study group for Fall 2023. In this session, we'll dive into exactly what makes up a Python package, and how those files are used by other tools (or Python itself) to make your installation work how it does.
This event is virtual, and the link will be posted here shortly before we start.

Group Info:
This study group uses a "teach to learn" modality. One group member researches a topic that is brand new to them, then teaches the rest of the group what they've learned.This term, we're looking at packaging and deployment as it relates to Python. Broadly speaking, that means things that relate to getting your code to run somewhere other than your own computer. We'll cover topics like publishing a package to the Package Index, the different types of package distributions, wheels, setup tools, and more.
