Description:
The Python community has been roiled, to a certain extent, by an action
taken by
the steering council (SC): the three-month suspension
of a unnamedweirdlyPython core developer. Tim Peters is the developer
in question, as he has acknowledged ,
though it could easily be deduced from the SC message. Peters has been
involved in the
project from its early days and, among many other things, is the author of PEP20 ("The Zen of
Python"). The suspension was due to violations of the project's code of conduct that stem from the discussion around a somewhat controversial set
of proposed changes to the bylaws for the Python Software Foundation (PSF) back in mid-June.
