It's really an honour serving the Python community through EuroPython!

“You stop seeing EuroPython only as an event you attend and start seeing the people, effort and collaboration that make it possible.” Read our interview with @diegor.it, a member of the Programme Team at EuroPython 2026: blog.europython.eu/humans-of-ep...

Next week I’ll speak (in Spanish) at the National University of Salta 🇦🇷 about CPython, its governance, and the role of Core Developers. Building bridges between university students and the global open source community matters. Open source grows through people. The talk will be streamed online.

Actualización: Debido a un paro nacional de la universidad, el evento se hace el JUEVES 13 de AGOSTO de 16 a 18 horas. Update: Due to a nationwide university strike, the event will take place on THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.

I really look forward to delivering these two talks at EuroPython! Don’t miss them!

🐍 CPython Core Dev Sprint 2025 wrap: ~50 core devs (yes, Guido too) and invited guests hacking in Cambridge. JIT, free-threading, C-API, endless side discussions. It's safe to say the best ideas start over coffee and a whiteboard with @python.org: community.arm.com/arm-communit...

Last month the CPython Core Dev Sprint 2025 took place at Arm (@developer.arm.com) Cambridge. 🔧 I’ve just published a full write-up on what happened, what went into organising it, and what it means for Arm & the Python community. 👉 Read it here: community.arm.com/arm-communit...

community.arm.comCPython Core Dev Sprint 2025 eventFor one week, Arm’s Cambridge HQ became the heart of Python development. Contributors globally came together for the CPython Core Developer Sprint.

I gave a talk at @europython.eu about “Exploring the CPython JIT” where I go to a journey in the execution pipeline, from the Python source code to native machine code. Feel free to reach me out if you have any question.
