There was no meeting. Too many people were on vacation.

2022-09-12

  • The Steering Council and the Developer-in-Residence discussed the recent security releases, the Miss Islington bot, and the upcoming PyPy/HPy sprint.
  • The SC discussed the upcoming Core Dev Sprint and what topics to bring up there to discuss with the Core Developers.
  • The SC reviewed PEP 669 and prepared some comments and questions.
  • The SC discussed non-identifier keyword arguments, and prepared a response.

2022-09-19

  • The SC discussed backwards-incompatible changes done in 3.11, and possible issues with Backwards Compatibility Policy (PEP 387):
    • people need to be more aware of it
    • it's not clear that a change breaks backwards compatibility, which is a problem if more changes are added on top
  • The SC decided to have a conversation about backwards compatibility at the Core Dev Sprint, to get a better feel for how core devs thank about it.
  • The SC discussed release blockers for 3.11, and decided that fixes for the current issues can be postponed to 3.11.1.
  • The SC agreed on a date for a meeting with Meta (fb.com) as a PSF Visionary sponsor benefit.
  • The SC discussed current blockers on updating the policy for the python organization on GitHub.
  • The SC discussed Non-identifier keys in ** arguments and elsewhere, and decided to allow them. Related details will be discussed community-wide, rather than in the SC. [See the later Discourse topic.]
  • The SC discussed PEP 692 -- using TypedDict for more precise **kwargs typing.

2022-09-26

  • The SC met with Łukasz (the Developer in Residence) to discuss the PyPy/HPy/GraalPy sprint, which Łukasz attended, the relationship between HPy and CPython, and the possible futures of the C API.
  • The SC met with Deb (the PSF Executive Director) to discuss details regarding the core dev sprint.
  • The SC discussed bugs involving incomplete frames, like gh-96975 and gh-97002, and agreed with Pablo (Release Manager) that while it's a serious issue, it's not enough to block the 3.11.0 release.
