Python User Group Belgium

What we're about

The Python User Group in Belgium is a community of Python enthusiasts who come together to learn, share, and discuss all things Python. Members of the group range from beginner to advanced levels, and everyone is welcome to join. The group meets on a regular basis to learn from presentations and workshops, share their own experiences and projects, and network with other members. In the future, the group might also host regular events such as hackathons and coding competitions, to promote Python and its uses. Whether you are a seasoned developer or just starting out with Python, the Python User Group in Belgium is the place to be for anyone interested in the language. The focus is on knowledge sharing and community building, commercial intents are frowned upon. All events are entirely free-of-charge.

Past events

You just missed it! Don't worry more are coming soon!

Create your website with Flask

During one evening, we will see how to create a website from scratch with Flask.

Flask is a micro-framework for Python, with no ORM, or other stuffs, but I will show you how to create a database and a simple web interface for your business.

Please, come with your laptop and Linux or OSX. You can come with Windows, but we don't have a good experience with Python on Windows.

Python@FOSDEM 2017

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. The language provides constructs intended to make clear programs possible on both a small and large scale.

This developer room is a good occasion to discover the Python ecosystem and meet the community around this language.

FOSDEM 2019

FOSDEM is a two-day event organised by volunteers to promote the widespread use of free and open source software. Taking place in the beautiful city of Brussels (Belgium), FOSDEM is widely recognised as the best such conference in Europe.

The event is a free and non-commercial event organised by the community for the community. The goal is to provide free and open source software developers and communities a place to meet.

Python Workshop

Afternoon workshop at the Adimian HQ. Join us for an interactive small group session aimed towards Python newcomers.

During this introductive workshop, we’ll be focussing on setting up your environment & the fundamentals.

Python Sprint before FOSDEM 2023

Dear Pythonistas,

I am planning three days of Sprints in Brussels before FOSDEM, on February 1-2-3, during office hours (there will be plenty of FOSDEM satellite fringe events to attend in the evenings).

Sprints are a gathering of developers, in this case contributing to Free and Open Source Python software or its ecosystem.

Register here if you'd like to join for some warm up before FOSDEM: https://www.meetup.com/belgium-python-meetup-aka-aperopythonbe/events/291010204/

Else see you at the FOSDEM Python devroom on Sunday 5th: https://fosdem.org/2023/schedule/track/python/

Python Meetup

We’re back for another evening of Python filled content & networking. As per usual, we’ll be gathering up at Hard Rock Café Brussels.

FOSDEM 2023

FOSDEM is a two-day event organised by volunteers to promote the widespread use of free and open source software. Taking place in the beautiful city of Brussels (Belgium), FOSDEM is widely recognised as the best such conference in Europe.

Python @ Hard Rock Cafe vol.4

Here we are again, getting ready for another round of Python centered content @ Hard Rock Café Brussels. Going in for round four already, we’ll be providing you with a combination of typical Hard Rock food & drinks & a presentation. Join us on Tuesday the 6h of March, but be quick to subscribe (our previous edition was fully booked weeks before the actual event date).

Python in Education

The next generation of Pythonistas

Over the recent years, Python has evolved from being a background player to a well known & used language within the educational landscape. Today, multiple universities are using Python as a building block for IT & scientific related courses. For example, Python is the main programming language for IT students at the University of Ghent. At the VUB, Python is being used as the main language for the course ‘Introduction to Computer Science”, lectured to students in their Science department. KU Leuven on the other hand is using Python throughout multiple courses (Python as a second language, Data analysis with Python, Computer vision with R & Python, etc.)

Needless to say, today is a great time to start an education when aiming to learn more about the language. Follow the links below to be directed to each institution’s offerings.

Who make it possible!

Python is being used by both small & large-scale companies in Belgium. Big international companies are using Python as a catalyst for their internal tools.

Next to internal usage, there are a plethora of players on the market using Python to develop their go-to-market-products.

Finally, the largest group, are Python-based consultancy companies, from scientific computing to web development.
