<h1>Python Community</h1>

<p>The Python programming language has a global community with millions of

software developers who interact online and offline in thousands of virtual

and physical locations.</p>

<h2>Who drives the Python community?</h2>

<p>There are tens of thousands of Python developers who help steer the

community with local, regional and global events. Most, if not all of them,

are members of the

<a href="https://www.python.org/psf/">Python Software Foundation (PSF)</a>. The PSF

is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with the mission to "promote, protect, and advance

the Python programming language, and to support and facilitate the

growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers."</p>

<h2>Python community resources</h2>

<ul>

<li>

<p>The <a href="https://www.python.org/community/">community page on Python.org</a>

provides a starter page with links to community-run newsletters, resources

and conferences.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p>Clinton Dreisbach wrote two fantastic retrospectives for

<a href="http://www.dreisbach.us/blog/pycon-2015/">PyCon US 2015</a> (his first PyCon)

and

<a href="http://www.dreisbach.us/blog/pycon-2016/">PyCon US 2016</a>. There are

many other retrospectives for other

<a href="http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=261930">community-led conferences such as EuroPython</a>.

These summaries can be a great way to get a slice of the experience

before purchasing a ticket and booking a trip.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p>There are many large active online communities on

<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/python">Reddit</a>,

<a href="https://plus.google.com/communities/103393744324769547228">Google Plus</a>

<a href="https://freenode.net/">IRC channels</a> such as #python, #python-dev

and #distutils.</p>
