PyCon is a platform for Python users to get together for Python. This year, people affiliated with PyCon TW formed a visiting group to attend PyCon JP. It’s the first international outreach from PyCon TW, and a great opportunity for us to experience different culture.
Overview
The theme of PyCon JP 2019 is "Python New Era", an idea of the new era in Japan and the new era of Python3.
