I’m incredibly excited to serve on this coming term’s Steering Council!
Working on CPython has been one of the most rewarding endeavours of my career. I’m so grateful to everyone who voted & honoured that so many placed their trust in me.

Absolutely honored to serve another term with these fine folks. Thanks to the community for your trust and for Greg and Emily for a wonderful 2025 term.
Featuring: @mitsuhiko.at @pumpichank.bsky.social @snarky.ca
Drew Houston, Guido van Rossum, Benjamin Peterson, Jessica McKellar, Ken Manheimer, Lambert Meertens, @mariatta.ca @pauleveritt.org ...
One of the funnest recent episodes is now out with @snarky.ca, @willingc.bsky.social, @pauleveritt.org, @pumpichank.bsky.social, and @mkennedy.codes #python
#513: Stories from Python History

I gotta say, ChatGPT and other LLMs are infinitely better at debugging esoteric computer problems than searching the web, forums, reddit, SO, etc. Case in point: Time Machine was erroring on a particular Dropbox file stored locally, and CGPT helped solve it. Plus it was actually kinda nice!
This announcement comes after several weeks of thoughtful discussion among the SC members. I’d also like to acknowledge and thank my fellow council members, @pumpichank.bsky.social, @gpshead.bsky.social, @pablogsal.com and @emilyemorehouse.bsky.social for their hard work throughout this process.
While it took much deliberation, it’s decisions like this, and the process leading to it, that make serving on the SC so rewarding. Once again I’m honored to serve with these five fine folks.
Uncanny valley x2. I've talked to several plumbers recently whose voicemail goes straight to an AI. They don't tell you they're an AI tho, so after a few Qs & As, I suspect "Dane" and "Madison" of being Not Human. Now I'm trying to trick them without outright accusing.

This transition to a Public Benefit Corporation is a huge milestone for us ✨.
I am so excited about the future and the impact we will continue to have on the open source ecosystem.
Use #Python at all? I would like to do a silly thing, which I hope will bring amusement to others as well as me (if it works out).

Many projects name proposals after PEPs rather than RFCs.
Where did PEPs come from? Here's @pumpichank.bsky.social on the origin!

This news just came across the Python forums, where he has much love and support. I haven't seen him in a long while but he was a fellow Release Manager back in the day, and wonderful character and early contributor in the Python world. Send him the best wishes from his Python friends.
Clearly I need to come up with *way* more terrible PEP ideas.
I was asking it for the git magic to split a directory out into a separate repo. The only thing missing from its response was a "Yo, bro" prefix.
I love it when I ask ChatGPT to give me some commands to do a thing, and it responds with "Let me know if you want a script that can do that. I can hook you up".
Better than mine!
You never know! 😆
Thanks!
BREAKING! Guido van Rossum, the legendary creator of #Python, has officially reinstated himself as Benevolent Dictator for Life (BDFL).

I doubt Southwest Airlines is here, but I *used* to be a loyal customer. With the announced bag fees and previously announced assigned seat changes, as of today, I'm done. If you want to act like just another airline, that's how I'll treat you.
Okay, before I freak out and delete Firefox everywhere, what's the deal with the new Mozilla terms of service, giving them blanket rights to use that information? Sure seems pretty broad, or at least extremely careless language, for a privacy focused organization.
Are you using git connection (pull) for Pages or wrangler to push to CF? Or something else?
Do you plan to deploy it as part of ruff or as a separate tool?
We’re building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust.
From a technical perspective, it’s probably our most ambitious project yet. We’re about 800 PRs deep!
Happy birthday, #Python 🐍!
