This chapter explores the implementation of a bug bounty program within the Python Software Foundation and highlights the new REPL feature in Python 3.13, focusing on its usability improvements. It discusses the significance of adapting versioning practices, including the shift to a yearly release cadence, and emphasizes the community's involvement in enhancing Python's threading model. The conversation encapsulates the challenges and opportunities in evolving Python’s ecosystem, fostering a collaborative environment for developers.
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.
