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/

🧵 THANK YOU!! WOW! We hit our initial fundraising goal of $314,159.26 🌠 We're bursting with joy and hope- & we're not done yet! Thanks to you, we’re rolling out two new goals: 400k (stretch) 512k (super stretchy!) Can you help us hit our super stretchy goal? Read on ⬇️ #PythonForEveryone

Go home, Firefox, you're drunk.

How much is your company spending to support the Python Software Foundation? For comparison, how much do they spend for tips on expensed meals? The PSF runs PyPI, where pip installs from. You depend on PyPI. Fund the PSF. Tip your server! www.python.org/psf/sponsors...

Now that the remaining PNG files have been manually OCR'd, the total stands as follows: We've raised $9238.74 which is 54.3% of our $17000 total. Once again within 24h of a contributor joining the match we are over half full, but we all stand ready to be maxed out so please keep those donations […]

They say "don't read the comments" but I think the ratio of good vs bad comments in this thread makes it very, very worthwhile. Also, the *reach* has been amazing. I've seen reposts from people I follow for very non-Python reasons (not mutuals!), who as far as I know have never posted or […]

Just released! 🚀 Please install and enjoy Python 3.14! 🥧 discuss.python.org/t/python-3-1... #Python #Python314 #release

Obviously @hugovk.dev did a lot of work on 3.14, so I also pressed a few buttons and released 3.13.8 😅 discuss.python.org/t/3-13-8-has... #Python #Python313 #release

Let me post a *non*-subskeet for once... We made a thing! discuss.python.org/t/pep-810-ex... #Python #PEP

In which Leeah and Vivi cosplay a classic vampire scene... #SavannahCat #CatsOfBluesky

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep. 1. Python and/or the Python Software Foundation 2. Stargate SG-1 3. The culture of the early to young internet (1990-2005), like the new social interactions made possible by bulletin boards and email and Usenet, creating new ways for peop--

Check out this blog post from PSF CPython Developer-in-Residence, @lukasz.langa.pl, about why sprints are a wonderful environment for productivity, learning, and community connection– and his favorite part of a conference! pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/09/spri...

Don't dance around it, don't make jokes about it, don't hedge as if it's merely suggestive of the possibility or we need more evidence to confirm. This is a literal signed confession that the president is a pedophile. He is guilty of that most monstrous of crimes. Say it plainly and directly.

"but how would you react if <person you previously respected> was involved as an Epstein friend/accomplice/worse" fuck em. If they knew or pretended not to know, in the bin with them.

I told @joshua.stealingheather.com, developer of @iceblock.app, that he was running a vulnerable version of Apache on his server. He ignored my vulnerability report and blocked me, and his service is still vulnerable today micahflee.com/iceblock-han...

Apropos of nothing...

The 2025 Python Type System & Tooling Survey is live 📝❓🤔 No typing experience needed— your perspective as a #Python dev matters most. Take a couple minutes to help improve Python typing for all! forms.gle/AUkcEGZ3hybQ...

It's that time of year again, @python.org Board Elections! If you're a voting member, please take the time to read the nomination statements and vote. I sometimes endorse specific people, but I think this year, no. I will only *warn* against one specific person. This is new for me.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

Well! I guess this year will be the first year I'll be actively recommending people *not* vote for one of the candidates for PSF Board! (I hadn't gotten around to reading all the nomination statements yet.) I guess we're finally getting more diverse candidates 😂

The Python Documentary was fun, nostalgic (painfully so for me; had to stop it twice) and pretty damned good... ... but the highlight for me is two friends caught on camera gossiping about me (without explicitly naming me) 😂 😂 youtube.com/watch?v=GfH4QL4VqJ0 #Python #CultRepo

Someone had a fun romp outside today (on a leash, don't worry) and really, really tired himself out. #SavannahCat #CatsOfBluesky

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon

If you need a clear & concise piece to share with your company to make the case for supporting OSS projects & orgs like @python.org :

I'm *so* excited to share that I am now officially a CPython Core Developer! 🥳 I wrote my first Python in 2012, and immediately fell in love with the language. I'm honored that I am a part of, and can give back to, such an amazing, welcoming community! discuss.python.org/t/vote-to-pr...

In preparation for Python 3.14 and official free-threading / nogil support, I present argon2-cffi-bindings 25.1.0! 1/3

Feels very surreal but this is a general PSA that you should go and chase your dreams/aspirations. Even if they feel scary. Even if they feel too big. Do it, scared ✨

I need to "YES-and!" this so bad! Be the kind of person who helps other chase their dreams. Build the kind of community that lets people try and do the things beyond their (current) reach. Provide the support they need, practically and emotionally, in order to learn and grow into these jobs.

Here goes nothin'...I'm the Release Manager for Python 3.16 and 3.17, y'all! discuss.python.org/t/welcome-th...

Thanks to everyone for taking part in the #CPython sprint at #EuroPython2025! Across all CPython repos this weekend: * 122 PRs created (69 the previous weekend) * 79 PRs merged (65) * countless invaluable in-person discussions (a few?) #EuroPython #Python #sprint #Prague

This morning, I gave the opening keynote at @europython.eu 🖤 I am incredibly honoured to have had the opportunity to share my story and give the talk that I needed to hear when I started contributing. Python is forever, Python is for everyone!

Excited to see @savannah.dev opening the first Keynote for @europython.eu #europython

@pablogsal.com and I are in Prague for @europython.eu. Come talk to us about REPLs, parsers, profilers, and Sleep Tokens! 🤘🏻 And if you’re not here, there’s a new episode of the core․py podcast where we cover the new builtin sampling profiler for #Python 3.15 🏎️ creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

I'm reminded I should be posting more pictures of my big cats, so here's a treat: a video of Leeah catching treats from mid air 😅 (There's some more in this heavily curated album, which I add to every now and then: photos.app.goo.gl/Sapc2VXivQeq...) #SavannahCat #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

Oh look, it's a new episode of a podcast I like, maybe you should give it a listen. www.theincomparable.com/gameshow/259/ (Why, yes, I do happen to be on it, why do you ask? I won't spoil it except to say I got the same score as someone I greatly enjoy listening to on this show and others 😅)

#Python #community How well do you know about the work of @thepsf.bsky.social#Python#communityHave you ever think of running for the board election? Maybe you wanna check out the answers of some of the questions you have here:

pyref.dev now supports 85 popular PyPI packages, consisting of 68,314 symbols! #Python

pyref.dev now supports NumPy! - pyref.dev/numpy - pyref.dev/numpy.array - pyref.dev/numpy.random... What is pyref.dev you ask? It provides shortcuts to official Python API reference docs. #Python

On the PSF Blog: A summary of the "Fearless Concurrency in Python" talk by Tobias Wrigstad, Matthew Parkinson, and Fridtjob Stoldt during the #Python Language Summit at #PyConUS 2025

Just released: Python 3.14.0 beta 3! 🚀🐍 🥧 Exceptionally new in b3: 🥧 Free-threaded Python is officially supported! (PEP 779) 🥧 Subinterpreters in the stdlib! (PEP 734) Do you maintain a Python package? Please test 3.14. discuss.python.org/t/python-3-1... #Python #CPython #Python314 #release

The Python Steering Council is pleased to announce that the Free-Threading project is no longer considered experimental! discuss.python.org/t/pep-779-cr...

"I had not touched a cat in 15 yrs when an orange kitten wandered over to sit w/me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."

Just published the blog posts for the #Python Language Summit 2025. It's quite fun to cover this important event and contribute to the Python community in this unique way :) Please take a look if you weren't able to attend the Language Summit in person: discuss.python.org/t/announcing...

Another #PyConUS video that I care about, the #Python Steering Council keynote, the part about Free-threaded Python. I've been pestering the SC to say something about the state of it in 3.14, and boy, did they indulge me. 21.7% of it is about the efforts to remove the GIL. youtu.be/BrEjbbDdQsM?...

More #PyConUS videos are up, including my _absolute favourite moment_ of the conference: Van Lindberg and Ewa Jodlowska picking up their _tremendously_ deserved Distinguished Service Awards, *in person*. (I hadn't seen either in a few years, it was very emotional.) youtu.be/zEOG8TCT_kI?... #Python

African developers make a game where African characters steal back actual artefacts that are actually kept in Western museums and private collections while teaching you about the artefacts. This looks awesome.
