What we’re about
An open group for all things Python in Western Australia.
Our meetups happen First-Thursday of every month (except January).
Come join the online community by visiting PythonWA.com!
Our topics cover everything from Data Engineering, to the latest developments in web technologies, to using Python for automating your home! All skill levels are welcome and there's always time for catching up and networking before and after the talks.
The Perth WA group is operated under the terms of the Django Community Code of Conduct.

Welcome to our August Python WA meetup!
We welcome Python enthusiasts of all skill levels. We'll be starting off with food and beverages at 5:30 pm, and talks begin at 6pm.AWS, Networking, and You (on - and Python)
by Brett LooneyCome along and learn about how networking “works” in AWS and some of the advanced things that you can do with it (like dealing with IP address overlap). There’s definitely going to be a little bit of Python in there too. Bring many questions!

Python in the Sky: Using Python to Study Black Holes
by Arash BahramianOver the past decade, Python has become a ubiquitous tool in various aspects of astronomy to observe and study the universe. From data acquisition and reduction to analysis, modelling and making wondrous images of the cosmos, Python has been playing a significant role. In this talk, I'll showcase a few examples of how we use Python to learn more about black holes from discovering new ones to studying energetic events that occur near black holes, through what we see in astronomical observations.
Arash Bahramian is a lecturer/astronomer at Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy, Curtin University interested in observational characteristics of black holes and neutron stars in our Galaxy and looking for these objects by exploiting data-intensive techniques in large astronomical surveys.
