What we’re about
Welcome to Python Glasgow, the Python Group for Glaswegian (and nearby) Pythonistas!
From fintech to processing satellite data to automation to game design, Python is everywhere, and its uses only continue to develop in dynamic and exciting ways.
Python Glasgow meets every 1st Wednesday of the month to share and gain different perspectives and insights, sometimes bringing in speakers from across the city, and hosting events to further connection and deepen understanding.
Whether you're new to Python, or a well-seasoned veteran, or even if you just have a passing interesting, everyone is welcome to attend, connect, and leave with some new perspectives and (probably) a belly full of refreshments!
If you are interested in speaking at any of our monthly events, do feel free to contact any of the organizers/co-organizers of the group to make this happen - we welcome a whole range of topics, and look forward to working with you to make your voice and ideas heard.
We expect all members of Python Glasgow to follow our code of conduct.
At Python Glasgow we post our content (including media and documentation) various social media outlets, including meetup and LinkedIn. If you wish for any content to be removed for the sake of privacy or comfort, do feel free to contact an admin member of our group, and we will be more than happy to discuss this with you.

See all- Digging with Python: Making Archaeology More Powerful, One Script at a TimeThe Gamer Club, Glasgow
Ever wondered how Python could be used beyond tech startups and data science? Join us for a fascinating talk that explores how this accessible programming language is being used to support archaeology — from managing excavation data to visualising ancient landscapes.
This talk is not just for developers. In fact, it's especially for archaeologists, heritage professionals, museum staff, students, and anyone curious about how coding can help manage, interpret, and share archaeological information.
Our speaker, Juan Palomeque-Gonzalez, holds degrees in both Archaeology and Computing. He’ll share practical, real-world examples of how simple Python scripts can make everyday archaeological work easier — automating repetitive tasks, handling messy data, and unlocking new insights.
Whether you're a developer curious about interdisciplinary applications, or an archaeologist wondering how to get started with code, this session will have something for you.***
🧠 What you'll learn:
- Why archaeologists should care about Python
- Everyday tasks that can be automated with simple scripts
- Examples from spatial mapping, artefact logging, image handling, and more
- How developers can support digital archaeology projects

About the location:
We're in The Gamer Club- if you haven't been before, it's a purpose built basement venue for tech meetups - there is a console lounge, arcade, kitchen/bar, PCs, projector, gigabit internet etc. It isn't licenced, but you are welcome to bring your own beer/wine (or help yourself to the free teas/coffees). You can get directions here: https://www.thegamerclub.co.uk/gettinghere
