Changing PEP 13 to adopt Bloc STAR voting

I am proposing to adopt STAR voting starting with the elections for the 2025 Steering Council term. Unlike my preceding post (Adopting STAR voting), which was about refining the proposed changes, this thread (topic) is the actual poll, so please pay attention. I’m also planning to send an email to all current core devs to alert them of this poll. The voting method is fixed by PEP 13, which has a specific procedure for changes. After a Discourse poll about how to change PEP 13, I believe an anon...

🐍🏃‍➡️ Yesterday was the start of the #Python #CoreDevSprint! We worked on a wide range of topics, and held many discussions that just don't happen when we're all remote and async.

I opened 7 PRs, updated 2, reviewed 10, merged 3, closed 1 issue. As release manager, discussed with @brettcannon one of his projects after lockfiles, and with @freakboy3742, @Yhg1s, @ambv & Ned D ideas about mobile releases which wandered into ideas about security releases

Python Core Sprint 2024: Day 1

Python Core Sprint 2024: Day 1 This week I’m in Bellevue for the annual Python core sprint. This year, the sprint is hosted at the Meta Bellevue campus, and coordinated by Itamar Oren from Meta. Other Python core devs and contributors who work at Meta are also helping (Dino Viehland, Jason Fried, and Thomas Wouters). The PSF offers travel grants for Python core devs who are participating in the sprint and aren’t being sponsored by their employer, which I signed up for. Thanks to the travel grant, my hotel stay is covered fully by The PSF.
