PyCon is a conference for the Python community, organized by members of the Python community. PyCon is for Python enthusiasts of all experience levels, from new users to core developers.
PyCon gives you opportunities to:
* See a variety of presentations, panels, and impromptu discussions.
* Learn about significant advances in the Python development community.
* Meet fellow developers from around the world.
* Enroll in tutorials delivered by experts.
* Participate in development sprints with fellow enthusiasts.
The organizers aim to make the conference affordable and accessible to all.
The original PyCon was formed in North America in 2003, but there are now a number of other conferences being run in the PyCon spirit around the world. Visit the worldwide PyCon web site for more information.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

By Steef-Jan WiggersPlanetScale has recently announced that vector support is now generally available. Created as a fork of MySQL, this new feature allows storing vector data alongside an application's relational MySQL data, removing the need for a separate specialized vector database.
By Renato LosioShawna Martell shares practical strategies to effectively manage legacy code and tech debt. Learn how to lift existing code, gain buy-in for improvements, and build new systems with future maintainability in mind using encapsulation, testing, and linting. She explains the Strangler Fig pattern and provides actionable advice for creating code that ages gracefully and minimizes future headaches.
