Hugo van Kemenade: Steering Council election

The Python Steering Council election is on!

This year six candidates are running for the five seats. SeePEP 8107for links to their nomination statements andPEP 13for more on Python language governance.

I made a chart to show when the nominations arrived during the nomination period: six is fewer than in previous years, but they didn’t all wait until the last three days like in 2023 and 2024.

This year we’re also using a new voting system: with“Multi-winner Bloc STAR”you give between 0-6 stars per candidate.

If you’re in the core team, remember to vote by Friday!
