strange - last time I was in Coimbatore airport, there was this big ad
saying direct flight to Pune. Looks like it has not been introduced yet,
or has been dropped. But then all of us from this region face the same
problem getting to Pune ;-)

sorry that is like saying Timbucktoo - a place at the end of nowhere - I

that is no doubt there - but the first pycon which you missed was held
in Bangalore. People are bound to have other commitments and miss a
conference even if it is in their home city. That rarely depends on the
location. I personally do not think a few extra hours of travel time
will affect this.
