What we’re about
This group is a regular gathering of Python users and developers in the Canberra area. We discuss Python and related open source technologies. It is a networking forum for meeting other locals interested in Python and exchanging news and ideas.

If you do any kind of Python development, or have done, join the group! We'll keep you posted about our regular meetups. PyLadies (or potential pyladies) are particularly welcome to come and connect to the community.
We care about new people and quiet people, so we want to have some bare minimum standards that we expect. You can find our Code of Conduct here: https://github.com/canberra-python/README/tree/main/conduct
If you'd like to give a talk at the next meetup, please ping Jonah, Elena, Alex, Andrew, Caleb or Evan on the slack: https://join.slack.com/t/canberrapug/shared_invite/zt-2ttz72xpj-T0zKkQgo4BR4sg_DXVmnUg
Sponsorship of CPUG ensures we can continue to bring together the Canberra Python Community through meetings and events.

Many of us employ shells (like Bash, Zsh or PowerShell) in the terminal to “get admin things done” on our computer. For the actual programming then we switch to Python to “get real things done”.
But what if you could use Python in your programs *and* in the terminal? Welcome to Xonsh, a shell and a Python REPL in one. This unique feature helps very much to get all things in the terminal done quicker, safer and to have more fun on the way!

In this talk I cover what Xonsh is, how you can use it to simplify your day-to-day work and how I have employed Xonsh to solve some sysadmin problems in a safer way. This talk is aimed at both Python beginners and experts who spend time in the terminal.
Leo is a Software Engineer with the Australian Government. Long time Python lover and Programming Language affincinado . Now diving into Functional Programming.
