CPython is changing quickly, with major work happening across performance, the JIT, subinterpreters, free-threading, typing, documentation, tooling, and the contributor workflow.
This panel brings together core developers with both long-term experience and newer perspectives to discuss where CPython is heading, why these changes matter, and how new ideas become part of the project.
The conversation will also focus on how people can contribute, whether by testing new features, reporting bugs, fixing issues, improving documentation, reviewing changes, or proposing their own ideas.
The goal is to help attendees understand how CPython works today, where it is going next, and where they can get involved.
