The Steering Council has asked for a proper PEP for the CPython JIT.
I’m happy to help coordinate that work. If you want to contribute as author, reviewer, or with any related input, please get in touch.

In 2010, I attended my first Python conference: PyCon Italia Quattro.
Last week, I returned to @pyconit to give my first keynote. A real full-circle moment.
I shared some reflections (and the slides) on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

The @Apple gift cards are just useless. Cannot do pick up, cannot use it in store. If you order for delivery, products will be delivered 1 week apart even if in stock. If you cancel the order, they will hold your money for days. Folks, don't ever buy them!

We need your help to advance the Python ecosystem on Windows on Arm!
Feel free to drop me a message if you want to know more.
The Python Package Porting Challenge is live!
We’re running a community-friendly challenge to help more popular Python packages ship win_arm64 wheels, upstream fixes, and improve performance for everyone.
👉 Goal: move at least 5 packages from amber to green
👉 Bonus if you’ve got packaging/CI or C/C /Rust experience
👉 WoA hardware support may be available for substantial contributions

The @ThePSF unlocked greater scalability energy efficiency, and performance across its CI/CD systems and build environments. How? By migrating to Arm-based AWS Graviton processors and adopting GitHub’s native Arm64 runners!⚡️💪
