Happy April!
Our next meeting is this Monday, eclipse day! [peak in our area is around 3:25pm, 90%-ish of total]
As usual we will start with a beginner-friendly bit of code, then everyone's introductions/updates;
and finally Mike's links, Python news and the usual mix of the latest tools, testing, and tutorials at https://www.princetonpy.org/next-meeting/.
And as always, your questions/ideas/doings are welcome--so join us!
