About us
Welcome! Boston Python is one of the largest local Python user groups in the world. Meet other local Python developers, learners, employers, and enthusiasts of all kinds. All skill levels are welcome: if you are interested in Python, we are interested in you! We have a code of conduct to ensure that everyone stays happy and productive.
We have great regular events:
- Monthly presentation series: these are longish presentations (about an hour) about topics of interest to the community. Often we also have lightning talks (5-15 minutes) also. If you have something you'd like to share with everyone, drop a line to the organizers!
Monthly informal project nights: these are a chance to sit down with other Python developers of all experience levels to push your project forward, get help with a particular trouble spot, share expertise, or do whatever else you like.
In addition to meeting face-to-face, we have a few other ways to stay connected:
• Slack: https://about.bostonpython.com/slack
Job postings on the Meetup.com mailing list are OK, as long as they meet the Job Posting Requirements.
If you'd like to help financially, you can make a tax-deductible contribution at donate.bostonpython.com.

PyCon preview: Where the Sidewalk Ends: Data-Driven Urban Safety by Fay Shaw
Microsoft NERD, 1 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA, USEver wonder what happens when a data scientist gets mad about potholes and dangerous intersections? You get MOSEY - and a whole movement for safer streets. 🚶🚲
Join us for a preview and rehearsal of Fay Shaw's upcoming PyCon US 2026 talk, where she'll show how Python, public data, and a healthy dose of civic frustration can actually change your city.
Fay built MOSEY (Move On Safely EverYone) — a Streamlit app that mashes up MassDOT crash data with Walk Scores to paint a fuller picture of pedestrian and cyclist safety in Malden. What started as a personal "why is this intersection so scary?" project turned into real advocacy, walk audits, and a push for safer streets legislation. This is data science that gets out of Jupyter and into the world.
Come ready to watch a great talk, eat some pizza 🍕, and give Fay your most thoughtful (and kind) feedback to help her shine at PyCon.
Doors open at 6:00 PM - come hang, grab a slice, say hi! Talk starts at 7:00 PM 🎥 No recording - but the official PyCon recording will be up later!👉 Sneak peek at the full abstract: https://us.pycon.org/2026/schedule/presentation/124/
