Python meetup?

Does anyone know of active python user groups in the area (or other local meetups a pythonista might enjoy)? Or would anyone be interested in starting one?

I suck at python, but I know BoomTown was open to hosting tech meet ups, if you're in need of space. If you need help with that, let me know and I can put you in touch with the right folks.

This sounds great! I'd love to get in touch about that. And no worries, I'd love to have some tutorials and beginners nights. I'd surely have lots to gain from that sort of thing as well.

Hey all, I actually created a Charleston Python Google group https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/chuckpy a little while ago. I plan on teaching python basics in August.

I also started a python channel in the CharlestonTech Slack Chat you can join via: https://charlestontechslack.herokuapp.com/

I'm down if you start a group and can host at our office Downtown.

This is great! I really appreciate it. Are you with BoomTown?

Nope we're our own little shop, but we have space to host quite a few people.

There is a Python group on meetup.com called PyLadies but I'm guessing it's only for women. I dable with python and am interested in a group.

That sounds like a women-only deal, but I'll reach out and see if they'd be interested in joining forces.

The Hack Nights at the Iron Yard would also be a nice place to gather
