PyGreece is a community of developers that aims to network and collaborate with all Python developer communities in Greece.
We support the participation of every member of the Python community and we want all individuals who participate to have an enjoyable and satisfying experience. Consequently, all participants, speakers, members, organizers, and volunteers at any PyGreece event must abide by the following Code of Conduct.

- We focus on what is best for the community.
- We respect the processes set out in the community and work within them.

The Python community is dedicated to providing a positive experience for everyone, regardless of age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, race, religion (or lack thereof), education, cultural and cognitive differences, or socioeconomic status.
We recognize and value diversity not only in identity but also in the experiences and perspectives each individual brings to the community.
Our goal is to provide accessible events and discussions so that members with disabilities can participate without barriers. If there are any needs for additional support, please inform us at [email protected], and we will do our best to accommodate.
