A practical PyCon US note: if you are coming and have not booked your hotel yet, please use the official block.

Hotel pickup is one of the boring but important parts of conference economics, and it has a real effect on what PyCon can support. 📌

🎉📦 The Packaging Summit at PyCon US 2026 is now live.

If you work on Python packaging, maintain packages, support downstream distribution, or have topics that would benefit from focused in-person discussion, please take a look:

Today’s news about OpenAI’s acquisition of Astral can be worrying, or even feel like we may be losing something we’ve come to rely on and trust.

I hope everyone who is worried remembers that communities are more resilient than we sometimes give them credit for. And the Astral team is part of our Python community. (1/2)

RE: @jezdez@publicidentity.net

In case you missed it on the weekend…

Just wanted to leave something here, Jazzband might be over, but meeting strangers on the internet who decided to maintain something together, it's never going to get old.

After more than 10 years, @jazzband@fosstodon.org is sunsetting.

I started it in 2015 because maintaining Open Source alone was exhausting. The idea was simple: shared access, shared responsibility. It's been an honor to watch it grow: 3,135 members, 84 projects, and a lot of code shipped together.

Ihr habt uns allen schon sehr gezeigt, dass euch die Aufgaben der @ThePSF@fosstodon.org wichtig sind und habt fleißig gespendet. Vielen Dank dafür von mir!

Aber wir sind noch nicht am Ziel!

Dafür haben wir heute unsere Jahres-Spendenaktion auf https://donate.python.org/de/ gestartet und uns ein ehrgeiziges Ziel von 314.159,26 $ bis zum Ende des Jahres gesteckt.

Erzählt es euren Freund:innen, Kolleg:innen (und der Firmenleitung)! 💛💙

Hey all, this @ThePSF@fosstodon.org blog post is special, it connects the dots, on where the PSF is financially, and how we’ll sustain it to serve its mission in the future. This transparency is key and an invitation to build together.

You all know that Python became the connective tissue of modern computing because of everyone (maintainers, educators, library/tools authors, companies, user groups and conferences, you!) invested time into the Python community.
