This chapter examines the challenges developers face regarding platform compatibility, constant updates, and the management of Python's built-in debugger (PDB). It highlights the impact of funding and innovations on mobile app development and emphasizes the need for a structured process in developing Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs). Additionally, it explores advancements in parallelism and data management within Python, alongside a hopeful perspective on the community's future.
Every year the core developers meet to discuss and propose the major changes and trends in Python itself. This invite-only conference of about 50 people happens inside PyCon in the US. Because it's private, we rarely get detailed looks inside this event. On this episode, we have Seth Michael Larson here to give us his account of the sessions and proposals. It's a unique look into the zeitgeist of CPython.
