Following the tradition I started in 2023, I kept track of all the community contributions, participation, and collaborations of 2024 (monthly distribution in the plot) Compared to the 531.7 hours I spent during 2023, I spent 650.4 hours in 2024 which is a 22% increase.

I'm sad to go because the Python folks at Meta are stellar, and the work on Free-threaded Python, lazy imports and CinderX has been fantastic. Say what you will about Meta as a company, but the open-source support continues to be excellent.

Congratulations to the newest PSF Community Service Award recipients! Inessa, @kafui4k.bsky.social, Kalyan, @mjmolina.bsky.social, and @pauleveritt.org have each made lasting contributions to the Python community. Their service to the community deserves recognition and celebration! #python

pyfound.blogspot.comAnnouncing PSF Community Service Award Recipients!The PSF Community Service Awards (CSAs) are a formal way for the PSF Board of Directors to offer recognition of work which, in its opinion, significantly improves the Foundation's fulfillment of its mission to build a vibrant, welcoming, global Python community. These awards shine a light on the incredible people who are the heart and soul of our community– those whose dedication, creativity, and generosity help the PSF fulfill its mission. The PSF CSAs celebrate individuals who have been truly invaluable, inspiring others through their example, and demonstrates that service to the Python community leads to recognition and reward. If you know of someone in the Python community deserving of a PSF CSA award, please submit them to the PSF Board via psf@python.org at any time. You can read more about PSF CSA’s on our website. The PSF Board is excited to announce 5 new CSAs, awarded to Inessa Pawson, Kafui Alordo, Kalyan Prasad, Maria Jose Molina Contreras, and Paul Everitt, for their contributions to the Python community. Read more about their work and impact below.

Introducing the PSF Community Partner Program! The PSF is very excited to announce this new in-kind offering that expands how we support Python community events and initiatives around the world, now and alongside future community support programs 💝🐍

pyfound.blogspot.comIntroducing the PSF Community Partner ProgramThe Python Software Foundation (PSF) is excited to announce the introduction of the PSF Community Partner Program. This new program is designed as an “in-kind” way for us to support Python events and initiatives with non-financial assistance through the use of the PSF logo and name, as well as promotional support via sharing qualified posts on PSF official social media accounts. The PSF looks forward to supporting Python community events and initiatives through this new program!The introduction of the PSF Community Partner Program grew out of our desire to find alternative ways to support the community during the pause of our Grants Program (read more about the resulting process below). Even so, we intend to continue offering this in-kind support program after the Grants Program reopens. Our big picture hope is that, over the long term, some community events and initiatives will continue to partner with the PSF while being financially dependent on sponsors and individual donors alone. The PSF is also working on the future of our Grants Program, including when and how we can reopen it in a way that ensures the program’s long-term sustainability while balancing the needs of the Python community. In light of the truly staggering outpouring of support from our community during the 2025 year-end fundraiser, we are now in a stronger position to reopen the Grants Program and are eager to give back in a thoughtful and sustainable way. More updates to come!As with the rollout of any new program, we anticipate small adjustments will need to be made for processes to flow smoothly and to ensure the program serves the Python community well. The PSF welcomes your comments, feedback, and suggestions regarding the new Community Partner Program on the corresponding Discuss thread. We also invite you to join our upcoming PSF Board or Grants Program Office Hour sessions to talk with the PSF Board and Staff synchronously. If you wish to send your feedback privately, please email grants@python.org.

We couldn't believe it, the response from the community was amazing. A few companies showed their support, so we believe a few more could make a difference now into getting us to the next goal. You could donate at least 10 EUR, for the PSF, which is cheaper than some subscriptions out there!

As the PSF heads into our end-of-year fundraiser this month, we want to “connect the dots” and share a full picture of our current financial outlook: what’s happening, why, and how you can help sustain the future of Python and the PSF. 🧵

pyfound.blogspot.comConnecting the Dots: Understanding the PSF’s Current Financial OutlookAs the PSF heads into our end-of-year fundraiser, we want to share information to help “connect the dots” and show a more complete picture of the PSF’s current financial outlook. You’ve heard from us on subjects related to our financial position from several different angles recently (a list of those posts is below). We’ve prioritized proactive communications, because we believe in transparency, we have trust in our community, and we value keeping you informed— we know how invested in and impacted by our work you are. We now want to pull those threads together in order to create some shared clarity on the big picture, and, hopefully, inspire you to action to support our fundraising efforts.

Archive formats like ZIP and tar can be abused to undermine the integrity of Python package users 📦 Learn how PSF Developer-in-Residence Seth Larson is strengthening Python's security with the #Python community in the new white paper "Slippery ZIPs and Sticky tar-pits" with Alpha-Omega:

pyfound.blogspot.comImproving security and integrity of Python package archivesSecurity and integrity of the Python packaging ecosystem is critical, and the smallest unit of a packaging ecosystem is a "package". Python packages use existing archive formats like ZIP and tar to distribute Python projects to their users. Archives seem simple on the surface, but many ZIP and tar features can be abused to confuse implementations into seeing different contents of the same archive.

Getting funds by removing an important part of your mission statement should be a deal breaker for any non-profit. The PSF is not the first one in this position, and might not be the last. A "diverse international community" is something we should take care of.

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵
