What dojos are and how we run them at pyBCN
summary
Monthly community dojos run in Barcelona focus on concrete practices: prepared katas with timeboxed iterations (25–45 minutes), enforced pair programming TDD for some sessions, and occasional sessions that compare py.test vs unittest or teach the mock library. Attendance ranges from about 10–18 people up to a hard 20–25 seat limit. Organizers report that prepping the kata and running short retrospectives matter most, and that some formats work (TDD pairs) while others failed when the kata was untested beforehand.
