I’m happy to announce that the Steering Council has approved my proposal to hold the next Language Summit at @europython 2026 and then alternate with @pycon US!

The EuroPython Society plan to announce the location and date in the new year, stay tuned.

🔒 #Python #security news:

We're going to start disabling the commit bit (aka write access) to the #CPython repo for inactive core team members.

https://discuss.python.org/t/regularly-disabling-unused-commit-access-to-the-cpython-repo/105010

I proposed this after a security discussion at last year's #LanguageSummit:

Disabling the commit bit has no impact on core team status, nor Steering Council voting status, and you can easily ask for it back again.

At 20:26 this evening I published PEP 2026 to propose Python adopts calendar versioning!

https://peps.python.org/pep-2026/

This means that starting with the 2026 release, the version will be 3.YY.micro; Python 3.15 will cease to be, and will instead be Python 3.26.

I just kicked off PyCon 2024 with the first talk of the Language Summit (and my first talk at PyCon!): "Should Python adopt CalVer?" It was an interesting discussion, let's see!
