[Python-uk] First Cambridge Python meeting - it happened

[Tony J. Ibbs (Tibs)]

Well, the first Cambridge Python Users meeting happened last night - in the
end it was just Eddy, me and a furry snake, but the important thing was to
*have* a first meeting. Various things were discussed,  starting with bikes
and ending with Python (gosh!).

The next meeting is planned (hopefully with more people), but I'll leave
that to Eddy to explain.

I'm not going to try to present minutes or anything, but here are some URLs
that relate to some of the topics discussed:
