Hi Annapoornima,

  If you are not bitter, you are sounding like one. I don't see in any
technical forum, you will have a different attitude from fellow members
just because of your gender. Same holds true for Python mailing lists.

 Except for one time joke, which we all took exception of, I don't remember
any incident where there was any kind of discrimination or different kind
of attitude that was visible in any action of any member of any of the
Python India mailing lists
 (http://python.org.in/).



Pycon India is a volunteer activity and I know how much effort it goes in
organizing any event. May be at times we don't have the data carved out to
reflect all the details as it may need analysis and any kind of analysis
require some work and time, which I doubt volunteers anywhere will have.
Even then, I have seen a fantastic reports by few members which may not be
related to Pycon Data per se.

 I am not sure if Pycon can provide you with the data as you need it. But
certainly, if you will sound little less bitter, people will start coming
out to help you out. Forget the past incident, as you seem still to be
engrossed in that. World is a better place, give others a chance to prove
that.
