The Python African Tour wants to come to your country !
If you are an organization based in Africa (School or University, NGO, social enterprise, etc…), interested in promoting Python-based technologies in your context, for your community and partners, contact us through the mailing list.
We can work together to set up a Python event (training, barcamp, demos) as part of the Python African Tour.
For more information about this project, check out the project wiki.
Python African Tour is a new project lead by a group of Python developers, advocates and social change actors. Our objective is to help promote the Python language and its technologies in Africa.
Python is a powerful Open Source programming language, which - for the last 15 years - has been helping engineers and developers build great software in various domains such as scientific, financial, and the web.
One of the main advantages of Python in this project’s context is that it offers a great way of learning programming.
The idea of this project is simple: Set up free training sessions that would be lead by volunteer Python trainers, as well as developer events à la “barcamp”, in African countries where we can find local host organizations and sponsors.
We already have an interesting list of volunteers ready to participate.
We also started discussions with a group of students from a school in Morocco, Ecole Mohammedia d’Ingénieurs, where the tour might start. More details on this event later.
