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.

Anthropic recently reported that Claude now handles around 95% of its internal analytics requests, letting employees query business data independently instead of relying on data teams. The company attributes this result less to advances in models and more to data governance, semantic definitions, and operational discipline.

Atlassian details the Forge billing platform built for usage-based pricing across its cloud ecosystem. It processes large-scale usage events with correct attribution, deduplication, and aggregation using a streaming pipeline, idempotent processing, and layered storage to enable accurate billing, near real-time visibility, and reliable reconciliation across distributed services.

AWS recently introduced Amazon Cognito multi-region replication, which automatically replicates user identities and user pool configurations from a primary region to a secondary one. This enables applications to continue authenticating users from a replica region during outages, without requiring custom replication and failover mechanisms.

Block, Inc. describes migrating ~450 JVM repositories into a monorepo across Cash App and Square engineering to reduce dependency drift and coordination overhead. The system supports ~8,800 weekly builds with ~10 min p90 CI time. The approach improves cross-service changes, build visibility, and developer experience through dependency graph–based builds, selective CI, and custom IDE tooling.
