The Python Software Foundation (PSF) is the charitable organization behind Python, dedicated to advancing, supporting, and protecting the Python programming language and the community that sustains it. That mission is more than words to us; it’s the community we show up for every day. Our tiny but mighty team works hard to deliver the projects, services, and programs that allow Python to be the thriving, independent, community-driven language it is today. Some of what the PSF does includes producing PyCon US, hosting the Python Package Index (PyPI), supporting Developers in Residence, maintaining critical community infrastructure, and more.Python is for gathering, teaching, learning, playing, researching, exploring, creating, building, working, sustaining. The list goes on and on and on! Support this year’s fundraiser with your donations and memberships to help the PSF, the Python community, and the language stay strong and sustainable.
