Yes-ish.  I suppose I was trying to discourage people from coming along
under the impression that it would be a gentle introduction to Python,
but if you've dabbled in the language a bit and are curious to know more,
or if you're a seasoned programmer in another language and reckon you
could pick up the rudiments of Python quickly enough, by all means come
:-)

Hmm, that's a good point.  As you say, it can get busy - one reason for
having it on a night in the middle of the week was that I was hoping it
would be less crowded, but I don't know the place well enough to judge
what it's likely to be like.
