Actually the way I see it, the problem is not so much about getting people to 
attend. I agree with Kenneth and others who think those who are interested would 
come irrespective of location.

However, IMHO, the biggest factor in deciding the location is about getting 
enough people on the ground to organize the conference. I live in Pune and yet 
didn't come forward to suggest Pune because although we /do/ have a large number 
of professional pythonistas, the group by itself is not active enough to commit 
itself to organizing a conference (again, that's IMHO. I don't say this as a 
negative thing -- people have different commitments -- though as far as having 
enough members who could possibly be active in making it happen is concerned; it 
is sad, but honestly, we in the python-pune group aren't there yet).

All that said, I am neutral as far as location goes. I don't mind Coimbatore nor 
Chennai nor do I mind returning back to Bangalore.

cheers,
- steve
