After nearly five wonderful years at the Python Software Foundation as the inaugural CPython Developer in Residence, it's time for me to move on. I feel honored and honestly so lucky to have had the opportunity to kick off the program that now includes several wonderful full-time engineers. I'm glad to see the program left in good hands. The vacancy created by my departure will be filled after PyCon US as the PSF is currently focused on delivering a strong event. I'm happy to share that Meta will continue to sponsor the CPython Developer in Residence role at least through mid-2027. The program is safe.

Welcome to this annual survey to better understand how Python developers use the type system, type checkers, and integrated development environments (IDEs). The goal of this survey is to gain insights into the tools and practices you use (if any!), the challenges you face, and how you stay updated on new features. Your responses will help the Python typing community identify common blockers, improve resources, and enhance the overall experience of using Python's type system. Even if you have never actively used type hints in your code, your thoughts are still valuable and we want to hear from you. The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Thank you for your participation! This survey was developed with support from the Pyrefly team at Meta, the JetBrains team at Microsoft, and the typing community on discourse.python.org

As the PSF board election approaches, I am sure many of you are keen to get involved. It is a special chance for those of us who have been in the community for a while, and who love it, to help it be better. However, do you know what the Python Software Foundation, and particularly the PSF board members do? Have you ever wondered whether you should run for the board?

Tobias Wrigstad, Matthew Parkinson, and Fridtjof Stoldt attended their first Python Language Summit to talk about some new concurrency concepts with core developers. Their slides have great diagrams, so I recommend checking them out. Tobias delivered the presentation to core developers, opening with a “potentially contentious statement” that “[data races and concurrency bugs] were the future that free-threaded Python programmers would see if free-threading was adopted for Python programs”.
