PySprings
We meet the second and fourth Tuesday of every month.
Our meetup site has the latest things that we do.
We meet virtually on the second Tuesday of each month, and in-person at East Library (5550 N. Union Blvd) the fourth Tuesday of each month.
Come chat with us! We have a public chat room on Gitter / Matrix — you can join via the Gitter web app (log in with GitHub, GitLab, or Twitter) or any Matrix client like Element.
We also publish lots of projects and notes at https://github.com/pysprings.
We used to have a Python For Absolute Beginners class we did with the Pikes Peak Library District (pre-pandemic). There’s no current plan for bringing this back.

If you are on Windows, here’s a presentation we put together on installing Python using Conda: Windows Python Setup
Linux/Mac should already have python installed. Instructions if it isn’t is TBD.
