The proceedings are now on-line!

Eighth International Python Conference
January 24-27, 2000
Key Bridge Marriott
Arlington, Virginia

The 8th International Python Conference is a forum for Python users, software developers, and researchers to present current work, discuss future plans for the language, and to learn about interesting uses of Python. The conference includes a day of tutorials, two days of papers, a work in progress session, demonstrations, a poster session, and a Developers' Day.

Arlington, Virginia is located just across the Potomac river from Washington, DC.

Conference motto (due to Bruce Eckel): "life's better without braces."

Program Overview

Note: a parallel track for Zope users will be held in pararallel with the main program. Conference attendees can freely switch between the Zope track and the main conference track. The keynotes and special events are shared between tracks.

Warning: due to the number of registrations received, the schedule below was slightly rearranged to accommodate everyone in the spaces available: afternoon paper sessions are now scheduled before the afternoon keynotes, with a break in between.

Bookstand

As an experiment, we have an agreement with a local bookstore, Reiter's Scientific & Professional Books, to run a bookstand at the conference in the pre-function room, tentatively from 10 to 5 on the two main conference days (Jan 25 and 26). They will offer all the latest Python books... and more!! They will accept cash, checks and credit cards.
