Is there an active online group discussing the use of Python in finance?

Here are some resources for Python in finance I know of. Numpy, scipy, pandas, and matplotlib are useful packages discussed in the books "Python for Finance" by Hilpisch and "Python for Data Analysis" by McKinney. Quandl is a good packages for importing financial and economic data. Quantopian is a site that lets you backtest strategies coded in Python. IBpy is a package for trading at Interactive Brokers using Python. Quantstart has e-books and a blog about Python in finance. Robert Carver wrote a book "Systmatic Trading" that has Python code, and he has a blog "Investment Idiocy". Python is often discussed in the "programming and software" forum of wilmott.com .

--------

I'm not a scientist, but...

I know some people, who know that Python 3 may crash
as soon as one uses the "£" or the "€" symbols.
It was not the case in Python 2.

I was also told, a lot of code has been ported to
the Go language.

unicode support in Python 3 is better than in python2 

https://docs.python.org/3/howto/unicode.html 

What does this refer to (what are you getting at):
