I’m happy to announce that the Steering Council has approved my proposal to hold the next Language Summit at @europython.eu 2026 and then alternate with @pycon.us! discuss.python.org/t/language-s... ep2026.europython.eu #Python #LanguageSummit #EuroPython

🎉 A record-breaking year for the #PyConUS 2026 CFP! The PyCon US CFP is officially closed, and we received 1,015 proposal submissions — WOW 😮 A HUGE thank you to everyone for sharing your ideas, expertise, and passion with the community. We’re excited for what’s ahead! 🐍🚀

Today is Volunteer Responsibility Amnesty Day "Volunteer Responsibility Amnesty Day is about checking with yourself, and ending the commitments you need to end – maybe by taking a break, or by rotating it on to someone else, or by sunsetting a project." volunteeramnestyday.net

I just ate tacos and grilled octopus for dinner, paired with a mezcalita. Happy vacation to me!!

Alrighty, I opened one final PR but with that, consider me AFK and on an open source hiatus until the new year or so (my notifications are disabled!!!).

sorry but I just read old-style format syntax (e.g. ""Hello %s" % name) and my brain is shorting out.

Wrote a short post about what getting elected to the Steering Council means to me. Baby Savannah could never believe it! I love Python! Python is forever <3! savannah.dev/posts/im-on-...

not going to link this since it's on x but...

ever have a bug that you have bookmarked, that you have tried to fix but you can't figure it out, and so it haunts you for the better part of a year? yeah, well I did, until today! i did it! it was a 1 line fix 🫠 github.com/python/cpyth...

We drafted the 3.15 What's New for the JIT, and you guys, it's really, really cool. I'm so proud of our team 🖤 > ...3-4% geometric mean performance improvement for the JIT over the standard CPython interpreter built with all optimizations enabled. docs.python.org/3.15/whatsne...

the audacity of github to charge me to use my own self-hosted runners resources.github.com/actions/2026...

Just released! 🚀 🐍 Python 3.15a3! discuss.python.org/t/python-3-1... 🔬 A new high-frequency statistical sampling profiler 💬 Python now uses UTF-8 as the default encoding ⚠️ Better error messages 🎨 Colour code snippets in argparse help: bsky.app/profile/sava... #Python #Python315 #CPython #release

me: we could enable tail calling in the JIT perf dashboard no problem it’ll be fine also me: discovers issues in 3 different layers of infra, need to migrate data, need to fix frontend, blah blah blah omg it’s 11pm already

Honeymoon! This! Week!

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Once again I am honoured to serve on the Python Steering Council together with @savannah.dev @yhg1s.bsky.social @pumpichank.bsky.social @corona10.bsky.social🐍 The trust from the core team and the community is something I never take for granted.Thank you🖤 We'll work hard to bring you the best Python!

Congratulations to the new #Python #SteeringCouncil! 🗳️ @pumpichank.bsky.social 🗳️ @corona10.bsky.social 🗳️ @pablogsal.com 🗳️ @savannah.dev 🗳️ @yhg1s.bsky.social discuss.python.org/t/steering-c... Welcome Savannah & thank you to @gpshead.bsky.social for your service! hugovk.github.io/python-steer...

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. peps.python.org/pep-8107/

I need Rian Johnson to make 57 more films in the Knives Out series, please and thank you.

Dropping support for Python 3.8 in @fastapi.tiangolo.com will help with several things. And then dropping support for @pydantic.dev v1 right after will unlock a bunch of improvements that can be done only with Pydantic v2. 🤩

In Python 3.15, argparse is going to support colourized code snippets in help descriptions and epilogs 🎉!

can cloudflare please stop moving things around in the dashboard? every time i have to go look at my tunnels, i have to google search to figure out they've moved in under some new button. please, stop.

yeah, this is really, insanely cool.

It’s a really good thing that our honeymoon is in a week and a half because seasonal depression is wrecking me right now.

Woo, everyone's favourite Python profiler just got async awareness! 🎉 With --async-aware, you'll be able to see parent-child task hierarchies instead of flat event loop stacks. Without vs. with:

Happy holidays! Everyone is getting better server tracebacks in their FastAPI applications! ✨

💅 we’re out here building the best Python cloud you’ve ever seen, y’all!

A great mini doc from Cult Repo about @fastapi.tiangolo.com and the one and only @tiangolo.com! Always awesome to hear Sebastián talk about how important developer experience is to FastAPI!

Oh boy, you can bet we are cooking the coolest profiler for Python 3.15 👨‍🍳🔥

Moving back into engineering work full-time was the best possible decision. Just absolutely, 100% yes.

Shiva Baby (2020) was more of a horror movie than 95% of the horror movies I’ve watched in the last year. My anxiety is maxed out.

Sometimes I think about how Netflix killed 1899 after season 1. We were on the cusp of really understanding all the worldbuilding they’d teed up. Really could have been a great show IMO 😭

I kind of love that I have nearly 6 hours of uninterrupted plane time to watch movies on my watchlist. Today: Tampopo (1985), Autumn Sonata (1978) and The Red Shoes (1948)

It would, in fact, be a very good time to join the waitlist! 🔥

I do not recommend watching The Worst Person in the World (2021) on a plane. I’m a wreck right now, 10/10 film.

PSA: if you ever decommission a MacBook and decide to use it as a GitHub Actions Runner, etc., make sure that you’ve completely turned off iCloud syncing or else a friendly neighbourhood mediaanalysisd will come along and waste hours of your time 💕

Coming soon to your favourite new CPython 3.15 profiler 🚀

Well friends...I'm running for a seat on the Steering Council! Grateful for @pablogsal.com's nomination 🖤 discuss.python.org/t/steering-c...

I got nerdsnipped to hell last night bisecting a JIT perf regression on my RPi benchmark runner (1% faster to 8% slower), which is fun but more fun because: 1 - It's my runner I set up, sitting in my homelab 2 - I found this because of a perf dashboard I built 3 - I bisected using a tool I built

uh oh

Big JIT news: Ken Jin just landed a new JIT frontend that now does trace recording instead of trace projection, giving us ~1.7% better perf on our benchmarks! Only up from here on the road to 3.15 and 3.16! 🚀 github.com/python/cpyth...

Today is my 1-year anniversary becoming a CPython core developer 🥹🎉! Not to get too sappy about it but working on CPython changed my life and I'm so immensely grateful to be on this team, working on something so important to me. All this to say: Python rules, open source is forever.

Really stoked to see @jupyter.org’s first round of community proposals get funded! It was an absolute honor to help set up this initiative! I look forward to seeing this continue in the future blog.jupyter.org/announcing-o...
