The 180 number is from early on Saturday. The current number is over 230.
Personally I think the key difference for the average attendee over other conferences is the 'hallway track' and Open Space. Last year I witnessed a lively discussion on abstract base classes verses interfaces between two core developers and a number of attendees. Guido walked up and joined the conversation, clarifying his position and things got more lively. Afterward, one of the people turned to me and asked 'did that just happen?'
Not only did it happen, but that type of thing is a common occurrence at PyCon. Jim Fulton even took time out of his busy schedule during the sprints to hunt me down and yell at me about some PyCon website issues ;-)
It is one thing to have a discussion in python-users or django-users or even python-developers. It is quite another to have a similar discussion in person and breaking out the laptops!
Early registration ends on the 20th, so start making plans now!
