The Portland Portland Python User Group meets every second Tuesday at CubeSpace in SE Portland, Oregon.

We've recently re-formed the Portland Python group thanks to interest built up on the Meetup page and through the efforts of Brad Allen. It's still very early days- please help us spread the word that Portland Python is back!
