Yes, we are all friends. Henrique will couch surf in my place later

In Brazilian Portuguese the word "circo" does mean circus, but is most
often used with negative connotation, implying a disorganized place or

are very used to PythonBrasil, so the community will probably stick
with that.

Yes, Decimal is great. I've never been to one of Facundo's talk in

Gustavo Niemeyer's contribution to the Python Cookbook, 2 ed.
