Who is Python for- EVERYONE (and why that matters)
summary
Python runs on a nonprofit model that keeps the language and its package index free and vendor neutral, with governance open to community proposals and monthly office hours; examples include Raspberry Pi chicken-door with a light sensor, knitting patterns, space‑telescope and marine‑biology analysis, and a researcher using Python to study pediatric cancer. Python ranks top on GitHub depending on TypeScript grouping, CPython work happens in sprint rooms, the PSF reports PSF staff of 13, and the community recently community raised $314,000.
