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."
