✨ PyOhio 2026 CFP is Open! ✨
Hello PyOhio Community!
With Spring just around the corner, here at PyOhio we've decided to do a little early spring cleaning, and thus we're re-launching our newsletter. We've changed the layout to provide better information at a glance, keep you up to date on what we're doing to get PyOhio ready for you, and inform you about other regional events in the overall Python community. Expect to hear from us more regularly as well. We hope you enjoy the changes, and we promise not to flood your inbox! 🙏
If you have any feedback about the newsletter, please feel free to reach out to us at communications@pyohio.org!

PyOhio 2026 Call For Proposals
📣 Our 2026 CFP is live! 📣
The PyOhio 2026 Call for Proposals went live on March 8th, 2026, at 8:00 AM ET. As we have in previous years, we're using the Pretalx platform to manage the CFP, so we have a custom submission page for you linked below. We accept submissions from all experience levels of speakers (especially first-time speakers!) and on any topic related to Python! Feel free to share your personal Python journey, the Python tools you've been using, or that fascinating project you've been tinkering with for months. It doesn't matter if you use Python for work or just enjoy it for a hobby, we love hearing new perspectives and we want to hear yours! The CFP will be open for six weeks, until April 19th, 2026, Anywhere on Earth.
Submit your proposals here: https://pretalx.com/pyohio-2026/cfp

Today's Python Tip 💡
Did you know? The built-in float type in Python is great for simple, quick mathematical calculations, but float is based on a standard (IEEE 754) which doesn't allow it to represent certain values correctly, and can suffer from rounding errors!
If you truly need precise calculations, for financial transactions or scientific purposes, try using the fixed-point Decimal type from the standard library instead: https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html
