What we’re about

This is a group for anyone interested in the Python programming language. Join us to learn, share and network!

We hold regular in-person meetings in Wellington, New Zealand.

Some meetings support online participation. If you plan on attending meetings online, consider also joining our group "Python New Zealand - Online Events" for all our online events and hybrid events held in other cities.

Join our channel #meetup-wellington on the Python New Zealand Slack to stay up to date, interact with others or help with upcoming events.

If you'd like to present at one of the next meetups, please fill out this form and we will help schedule you in.

Python New Zealand's Code of Conduct applies to all Python New Zealand events and participants agree to abide by it.

Job Ads in Comments

The Python New Zealand committee generally welcomes the posting of Python-related job opportunities in the comments on meetup.com, provided they meet the following guidelines:

  • The job is Python-related.
  • The job is suitable for someone based in New Zealand, i.e., it is either located in NZ or open to remote work from NZ.
  • This must be clearly stated in the post.
  • All available job details should be included directly in the comment, rather than linking to an external site (especially not to a list of jobs).

The committee reserves the right to remove any comments — and/or ban accounts — that violate these guidelines, at its sole discretion.

    Samuel Odukoya: Your journey learning Python
    In this talk, I’ll share how I began learning Python through a data science class, then moved into web development with guidance from a SAIL Innovation Lab graduate. I built several websites, trained others, and later earned a scholarship at SAIL to study Generative AI. After a Python refresher course and months of hands-on learning, I worked on AI projects aimed at solving real-world problems.
    From basic data wrangling to building intelligent systems and web tools, I’ll walk through the challenges, key resources, and real-life applications that shaped my growth. Python became a key tool in my journey as a Generative AI Engineer and ICT Manager. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for inspiration, I hope my story encourages you to explore Python’s potential in your own field.
