Internet Relay Chat

There are several Python-related channels on the Freenode IRC network. All channels are available by using the Internet Relay Chat server irc.freenode.net.

For short questions, you can get immediate help by visiting the #python channel. You will need to first register your nickname with FreeNode, using the nickname setup instructions. You should also read the FAQ for the #python channel.

German speakers can use the #python.de channel on either irc.freenode.net or IRCnet. The channel on irc.freenode.net is much more active than the one on IRCnet.

Portuguese speakers can use the #python-pt channel on irc.freenode.net.

Spanish speakers can use the #pyar channel, from the Python Argentina user group, on irc.freenode.org.

French speakers can join the #python-fr channel on irc.freenode.net.

Finnish speakers can join the #python.fi channel on IRCnet.

Turkish speakers can join the #python-tr channel on irc.freenode.net.
