Python African Tour

As already announced, the second “Python African Tour” stop is Dakar, next week. A set of events are planned all over the week, thanks to the unstoppable contribution from the DakarLUG guys (Thomas, Ousmane, Serguei, and the others) managing the organization with love. What’s more amazing is that we will be training and showing Python-related stuff to more than 60 people ! Thanks to the companies and groups/organizations sponsoring these events.
