PyCon India

PyCon India is the largest gathering of Pythonistas in India for the Python programming language. The 13th edition of PyCon India will be taking place online from 17th September to 20th September 2021. With this unique scenario at hand, we plan to make this year's conference bigger, better, and more accessible to Pythonistas all across the world who can watch, participate and share their views right from the comfort of their homes.

Installation

The pyconindia package works both as a Python library and a command-line tool.

Install from PyPI (Recommended)

pip install pyconindia

Install Globally (System-wide)

For system-wide installation that makes the CLI available to all users:

# Using pip (recommended)
pip install --user pyconindia

# Or install system-wide (requires admin/sudo)
sudo pip install pyconindia

# Using pipx (best practice for CLI tools)
pipx install pyconindia

Note: We recommend using pipx for CLI tools as it installs them in isolated environments while making them globally available.

Install pipx (if not already installed)

# On macOS
brew install pipx

# On Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install pipx

# On other systems
python -m pip install --user pipx
python -m pipx ensurepath
