Congratulations to the newest PSF Community Service Award recipients! Inessa, @kafui4k.bsky.social, Kalyan, @mjmolina.bsky.social, and @pauleveritt.org have each made lasting contributions to the Python community. Their service to the community deserves recognition and celebration! #python

Announcing PSF Community Service Award Recipients!

The PSF Community Service Awards (CSAs) are a formal way for the PSF Board of Directors to offer recognition of work which, in its opinion, significantly improves the Foundation's fulfillment of its mission to build a vibrant, welcoming, global Python community. These awards shine a light on the incredible people who are the heart and soul of our community– those whose dedication, creativity, and generosity help the PSF fulfill its mission. The PSF CSAs celebrate individuals who have been truly invaluable, inspiring others through their example, and demonstrates that service to the Python community leads to recognition and reward. If you know of someone in the Python community deserving of a PSF CSA award, please submit them to the PSF Board via psf@python.org at any time. You can read more about PSF CSA’s on our website. The PSF Board is excited to announce 5 new CSAs, awarded to Inessa Pawson, Kafui Alordo, Kalyan Prasad, Maria Jose Molina Contreras, and Paul Everitt, for their contributions to the Python community. Read more about their work and impact below.

“Most of the work you see [...] is done by members of the community, just like you and me.” Recently @t-redactyl.bsky.social, co-lead of the Programme Team at #europython 2025, shared her thoughts on what it takes to organize a European conference blog.europython.eu/humans-of-ep...

Are we on the edge of AGI, or another AI winter? What is the difference between AI, DS and ML? And how useful are AI coding tools? If you're curious about the answers to these questions, make sure to catch the chat between myself and Michelle Frost on @gotocon.com. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-R7...

I realised in all the madness of Python Unplugged, I forgot to share the amazing #Python themed nails my artist did for the conference 💙💛

When building AI agents, people tend to run into the same issues: 🫠 It kind of works, but I don’t know why. 🫠 The agent is hard to extend. 🫠 It’s hard to debug. If you’re just starting or feel stuck, check this free course by @t-redactyl.bsky.social 👉 https://bit.ly/415JPGd

A full day of high-quality #Python content – free to watch anytime. Featuring 6+ hours of talks, including: • Practical ways to use AI agents while coding • What AI coding agents mean for open source • How to learn Python the right way Watch now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKkyBhXIJJU

There is a Free Python conference next week. Check it out! My friend @t-redactyl.bsky.social is one of the hosts. lp.jetbrains.com/python-unplu...

Python Unplugged on PyTV – Free Online Python Conference

Watch Python Unplugged, a free online conference bringing together top Python community leaders – open to developers of any level.

With less than a week until Python Unplugged on PyTV, I got into the 90's spirit with my fellow hosts @cheuk.dev and @wsvincent.bsky.social to discuss what our favourite fashion from the time was. (Please don't judge mine too much!) What was your favourite bit of 90's fashion? 👡

Someone at @jetbrains.com took the time to create a perso video for @sleepypioneer.bsky.social, Una and me! PyTV is the thing right now and the hype is real! hosts @cheuk.dev, @wsvincent.bsky.social @t-redactyl.bsky.social We'll talk about PyLadies. Mar 4 Sign up: lp.jetbrains.com/python-unplu...

I can't wait to host Python Unplugged in just over a week! If you love Python, you won't want to miss this - we're going to bring all the fun and learning of a Python conference to your living room. We have an amazing line up of speakers, community spaces, and fun quizzes. See you there!

My talented colleague Kristel just put together this comprehensive video showing you all of the lovely features in PyCharm's Jupyter notebooks. Give it a watch - I use so many of these features every time I work with data and they're really powerful.

Now that I'm a team lead, Slack's "remind me" feature has become my new best friend 🫠

With all of this talk about AI agents, you might have thought about building one yourself. But getting started can be overwhelming. I've put together a step-by-step tutorial which explains how to build every component of an agent in a ReAct agent using LangGraph. www.youtube.com/shorts/okYf2...

I'm so excited we can finally announce this! Python Unplugged will bring the Python conference experience to everyone, for free, no matter where you are in the world. Please join us for a day celebrating all things Python - the things we can do with it and the community we all love. 🐍❤️

We've been working really hard on something behind the scenes and we can't wait to tell you more tomorrow! 🤘🐍

My AI agents course is out! If you want to get into building agents, but have struggled with parts that feel "magic", I break it all down step-by-step.

I'm sure looking forward to supporting BEST TEAM! They're my favourite team in SPORT!

If you have some spare time, please fill this out! It really helps the Python community 🐍❤️
