2026-06-11 Python Steering Council meeting summary

  • Nathan Goldbaum joined us for Office Hours to discuss changes he has in mind for the buffer protocol, and how to best shepherd PEP discussions.
  • We contemplated the Core Team sprint at OpenAI for quite some more time.
  • The SC declined to veto Seth Larson’s promotion to the Core Team, and Stan Ulbrych’s promotion to PSRT admin.
  • We discussed a proposed security fix with a small backward incompatibility and decided the fix was worth the theoretical breaking change.
  • We updated ourselves on the ongoing discussion on PR 122971 and decided to discuss it with the Developer-in-Residence next week.
  • We briefly discussed the PSF’s proposed strategic plan.
  • Agenda for next week:
    • Regular sync with the Developer-in-Residence (the PSF Executive Director is out)
    • PEP 797 (Shared Object Proxies)
    • (The 2026-06-18 meeting was in fact cancelled due to absences and a short agenda)
