well I for one thought Chennai was a done deal. I mean we had zeroed in on two 
venues and I had already fixed two backup venues. Whereas Bangalore had not 
discussed venues at all. As for the poll, I never thought anyone would take it 
seriously - I was addressing an audience of 300 python trainees at that time 
and would have asked them all to vote if I had any inkling of this - which 
would anyway have been wasted as only the first 100 votes could be counted. 
Anyway, what is done is done - so let's go ahead and make this pycon a roaring 
success. But one thing is sure - for 2011 I am going to make sure that every 
element of the Chennai bid is in place before this conference so we announce 
the venue for 2011 at the conference itself.
