The Python Software Foundation is in dire financial straights — with only 6 months of runway funds remaining. Last week we learned that the Python Software Foundation turned down a $1.5 Million Dollar grant, from the US government, because Python did not want to adhere to anti-Discrimination and anti-DEI regulations and requirements within the United States. According to their 2024 annual report, the Python Software Foundation has been operating at a loss for some time — with their deficit in 2024 being just shy of $1.5 Million. In other words: That government grant could have (almost exactly) covered their 2024 deficit and put their books back into the positive. But Python’s commitment to promoting discrimination outweighed their desire to not go bankrupt. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10…

Python choosing to starve to death because it’s addicted to DEI is the most fitting way for such a trash language to die

It really seems to be difficult for an open source software project to just to open source software. You always have to demand communism as well it seems.

maybe this is the way. let them bankrupt the organization they took over and destroyed. then original author may come back and clean up that mess.

Good. Python should stop with meaningless updates. Dataclasses, type hinting, and the walrus updater were meaningless updates that break the “one way to do it” rule. Also, in Python 3.13 they removed modules from the standard library, breaking backward compatibility.

You know, anyone could start a project to maintain the language. Theirs can just wither and die.

Self inflicted issue. Let them run out of money.

They would rather die than allow equality of opportunity.

So absolutely criminal how the PSF ran into itself into the ground. Python has definitely hit its peak and is living on internia. AI is holding it together but tech like Elixir is starting to displace it in those spaces when it needs to scale. Sad.

Proves how far they have went away from any reasonable support of the project itself.

For a couple of years I've been light-heartedly warning my colleagues at work that I was going to start writing stuff in Ruby instead of Python. How we all laughed. That day draws closer.

As much as I love Python, they don't need to be paying 13 people.

if you allow retards rule then ideology is more important than quality self compatibility and long term maintenance then people go away then retards move to destroy next target. life of self-incompatible solution is always short. we just see a decay of once interesting project.

They wont go bankrupt, they operate at a loss on paper but the members make bank. They will get bailed out by some communist country who wants backdoors into computer systems.
