Steering Council Panel

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Five-person Steering Council meets weekly for 90 minutes, pronounces on PEPs, enforces the Code of Conduct, and decides funding for core-dev sprints and paid roles; the developers in residence team scales from one to three and proves productive, and the security hire wins CNA control for CPython to triage and score vulnerabilities. New governance bodies (PEP 732 docs board, PEP 731 C API group, PEP 729 Typing Council) preapprove PEPs. Python 3.13 ships beta1 with removed PEP 594 modules, typing tweaks, a color multiline REPL demoed successfully, an experimental JIT with near-zero slowdown, and --disable-gil build option implementing PEP 703 in phased testing.
