How Python took root
A real sequence: each year built on the one before it.
2019
First PyCon Tanzania
The inaugural national Python conference, grown out of grassroots meetups and Django Girls workshops, and backed by the Python and Django Software Foundations.
Held in Dar es Salaam, it brought the country's Python developers together for the first time across talks, hands-on labs and community meetups, with data science already in focus.
Where it all began
2020
PyCon Tanzania
Data science, ethical hacking, forensic investigation and cloud computing, with networking at the centre.
2022
PyCon Tanzania
The fourth edition: momentum that set the stage for hosting DjangoCon Africa.
Since 2023
Django Girls Tanzania
Free workshops alongside every PyCon. 30–60 women build and deploy their first web app each time.
2021
PyCon Tanzania
A strong data science and AI/ML track, plus the Fourth Industrial Revolution and cybersecurity.
2024
Fifth PyCon Tanzania
300+ attendees and 100+ students over five days.
2026, new
PyData Tanzania
Data science joins the line-up: tutorials, talks and sprints across data, ML and the wider Python ecosystem.
On the continental stage
Tanzania hosted DjangoCon Africa, twice.
The first-ever DjangoCon Africa came to Zanzibar in 2023, and the
second to Arusha in 2025, organised by this community for developers
from across the continent and beyond.
Ubuntu in Tanzania
UbuCon Africa came to Arusha.
In 2025 the community co-hosted UbuCon Africa alongside DjangoCon
Africa in Arusha, held on Django's 20th anniversary, and bringing the
Ubuntu and wider open-source community together with developers from
across the continent.
Three initiatives, one community
Each one opens a different door into Tanzania's Python ecosystem, from a first workshop to a national stage.
Django Girls
A free one-day workshop that takes a beginner from an empty editor to a
Django app running on the web, with a coach at her shoulder for every
step of it. For most of the women in the photograph below, this was the
first time they had written any code at all.

PyCon Tanzania
The national stage: five days of talks, workshops and lightning talks
that pull the whole country's Python community into one room. The sixth
edition lands in 2026.
PyData Tanzania
Meetups and workshops for data science, machine learning and AI, the
door for people who already write Python and want to point it at local
problems.

logistics, sponsorship, community outreach, and the year-round work that
turns a date on the calendar into an event.
The hands that make each event run on the day: registration and
check-in, logistics, session support, AV and media, hospitality,
and everything in between.

Become a partner and support us
Every edition since 2019 has been funded by organisations that believe in Tanzanian
developers. Here is how to join them, how partnership works, and who they are.

Who backs us
Backed since 2019
Every edition since 2019 has been funded by the organisations opposite. They span international funders, national innovation programmes, universities that host the events on their campuses, and the connectivity providers that keep the rooms online, a mix that has kept Python Tanzania running as a nationwide community rather than a single-city meetup.
