my -1 for Coimbatore.

I don't see a point in organizing the conference in a city where there
is no active user base.

We chose chennai because chennaipy was the most active python
usergroup in India after bangpypers. If chennai folks are unable to
take it up, we should probably give a chance to pune if there is
someone willing to lead (again because there is a good python user
base there). If not, we should go again for Bangalore.
