Someone beat me to the punch...
So, I started sending emails out announcing my intention to start a group… and it turns out that a Python Users Group just started down in Greenbelt called BACON-PIG. Looks like some major Python players are involved in the group, and Greenbelt is not that far from where I’m at (maybe 30 minutes). So I’m going to give the group a whirl and see how things go! If you’re near the area, consider attending!
