Ever turned down 1.5M$ in favor of your integrity? 😅
That's what the Python Software Foundation (PSF) announced yesterday.
The grant program would have easily been their biggest grant yet, but would have required them to abandon theirs stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
If you feel like your company heavily relies on Python, it might be strategically advisable to have it become a sponsor (starting at <150$ per month) of the PSF to have them continue doing great things over the next years.
(Or just to perform a good deed 😉 )
Anyways; in times like these it's refreshing to see not every tech related entity to bow before 💩🫅.
Find sponsorships over here:

And the official statement of the PSF here.
Have a nice week, everyone!

I need to extract certain information from a bunch of images. I'm a Python developer, but know little about this niche. Can somebody suggest particular toolkits to start with?
The problem: The placement of flippers on pinball machines has a rich history. There are thousands of different pinball machines. I would like to identify broad trends and turning points. So I'd like to be able to process photos like this in bulk, spot the flippers, and record their locations relative to the rest of the playfield: https://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=20&picno=38587
I know how to get the raw data (lists of pinball machines, collection of images) but the part I don't know how to tackle is the image processing (selection of best playfield image, compensating for photographer variation, finding the flippers, extracting their position and angle).
If you've done something like this before, what has worked for you? #pinball #python

Great work from the PSF, rejecting the US government's requirement to drop DEI programs https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-funding-statement.html

A Python Software Foundation @ThePSF rejeitou um aporte de um milhão e meio de dólares do governo americano.
O motivo? As regras do financiamento da NSF diziam que a PSF não poderia trabalhar com iniciativas de DEI (diversidade, equidade, inclusão).
A Fundação preferiu rejeitar a grana a se sujeitar a essas condições trumpistas, que vão contra sua missão e seus valores.
A missão da PSF inclui fomentar uma comunidade diversa e internacional de pythonistas.

Standing up to bullies is hard in current political environment. It warms my heart to see PSF standing up to bullies. They will face retribution no doubt from the current mob in power. Put your money where your mouth is! Support the foundation. It takes only 60K people to make the minimum contribution to makeup for the 1.5 million they lost out! Come on then, let's do this. @ThePSF #Python

@ThePSF My company is pretty much built on #Python.
We just made a significant donation to the PSF in recognition to their great work on the language, of which a small but important part is their commitment to fairness (or "DEI" as USians call it).
If you can, you can donate any amount at https://psfmember.org/civicrm/contribute/transact/?reset=1&id=2.
