    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Thu Apr 30 06:40:09 2026
    The Python packaging world now has a formal
    governance council, of the form described in PEP˙772 ("Packaging
    Council governance process"), which was approved
    by the steering council on April˙16. It has been over a year
    since the PEP was first proposed in February˙2025 and it has undergone
    lengthy discussions in multiple postings to the Python discussion forum. The packaging council will have "broad authority over packaging standards,
    tools, and implementations"; it will consist of five members who will
    be elected in a vote that is likely to come in June-after PyCon US 2026 is held mid-May.
