16 On February 1 there was once again the monthly [On February 1 there was once again the monthly](https://pygraz.org) meeting.
18 This time it didn’t take place at the [Spektral](http://spektral.at/), though, as at the
20 last second (well, a week in advance…) a schedule collision happened and the
22 nice folks behind spektral had to use that room for themselves. Luckily,
24 within a couple of hours a new venue for that evening was found at the
26 [Realraum](https://realraum.at)! Big thanks to [Michael](https://plus.google.com/+MichaelGebetsroither) and everyone else who helped here!
28 So, what happened? We had two talks! [Horst](https://zerokspot.com) gave a short tour through some of
30 nice string-formatting mechanisms you have with Python, something he had already
32 written about [here](https://zerokspot.com/weblog/2015/12/31/new-string-formatting-in-python/) a couple of weeks ago. If you want to learn more, simply
34 read that post and visit [pyformat.info](https://pyformat.info/), which contains many more examples 😉
36 Right after that, we had a quick introduction into some of the awesome things
38 you can do with [Pandas](http://pandas.pydata.org/). Big thanks to Moritz for that 😊 You can find his
40 slides on our [mailinglist](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/python-graz/Tb4c3EpFp3E).
42 We also had three visitors from [the Vienna Python usergroup](http://pyug.at/) who come by
44 every once in a while and who have their [next meetup incl. a coding dojo](http://www.meetup.com/PYUGAT/events/228288395/)
46 on February 17 at the Metalab 😊
48 The next meetup in Graz will be on March 1 most likely again at the
50 Spektral. Official announcement will be made soonish on [Meetup.com](http://www.meetup.com/PyGRAZ/),
52 [our website](https://pygraz.org) and all the other nice places you can find us 😃
