This chapter explores the significance of security in the Python development community, focusing on vulnerabilities like backdoor access. It discusses the balance between reactive and proactive measures for maintaining code integrity and the community's efforts to prevent and address security threats.
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.
