This governance work by @pyladies is truly top notch. The evolution of their governance as the project grows and matures is exactly the way a #FOSS community should operate.

Hey #python folks -- what's everyone's favorite python profiling tools these days? My goal is to capture data during a run so I can shove it in a flamegraph and identify where the actual bottlenecks are.
Thanks!

ICYMI: The authors of 'Building Better Research Software', a Carpentries Incubator lesson designed to provide “next steps” for learners after a Software Carpentry #Python workshop, are looking for workshop hosts and Instructors to try teaching the lesson and provide feedback.
🙏 The goal is to submit the lesson for adoption into Software Carpentry and we need plenty of feedback from the Instructor community to achieve that.
Please read the blog post and consider teaching the workshop in your local community! https://carpentries.org/blog/2025/08/building-better-beta-pilots/
