Python Security Reporting security issues with PyPI or a project hosted on PyPI See the security issue information for pypi.org here. Reporting security issues The Python Software Foundation and the Python developer community take security vulnerabilities very seriously. A Python Security Response Team (PSRT) has been formed that does triage on all reported vulnerabilities and works to resolve them. To reach the response team, send email to security at python dot org. Only the response te...
EDU-SIG: Python in Education EDU-SIG: Python in Education More and more, Python is making inroads at all levels in education. Python offers an interactive environment in which to explore procedural, functional and object oriented approaches to problem solving. Its high level data structures and clear syntax make it an ideal first language, while the large number of existing libraries make it suitable to tackle almost any programming tasks. Edu-sig, through its mailing list, provides an infor...

Lemburg reported no issues except that he just does not have enough time to devote to his Moving PyPI to Amazon CloudFront project and therefore, he wants to transfer the project lead on to another interested party. M. A. Lemburg also reported on future plans for the project: "Check...
Parade of the PEPs Parade of the PEPs To start off Developer's Day at the Python10 conference I gave a keynote ending in what I dubbed "the parade of the PEPs". It was a brief overview of all open PEPs, where I gave my highly personal and subjective opinion for each PEP. Later, I realized that this might have been of interest to other developers. I didn't take notes at the conference, so below is a different set of comments that I created from scratch during a single two-hour sitt...

SF #457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python (win9x only). Under certa...
