Python Insider Blog has moved

Core Workflow
1

Quick heads up: the Python Insider blog is now a static site ran at GitHub - python/python-insider-blog .

All links on https://pythoninsider.blogspot.com/ (including RSS) should redirect to https://blog.python.org/.

As a personal note, what I’d really love to see: more posts from core devs about the actual work.

Not just release notes (though bless the release notes). I mean things like:

  • why the JIT picked up another 5% this cycle

  • what changed in the parser and why

  • how we’re dealing with the daily flood of AI-generated drive-by patches

  • lessons from refactoring some ancient corner of Objects/

  • a deep dive into one weird bug that took three days to root-cause

…that kind of thing.

We have a lot of interesting engineering happening in our org. Most of it never leaves PR threads and commit messages. It’d be good for users, and other core team members involved in other areas, to have more narrative around the work.

If you’ve ever thought “someone should write this up,” that someone can be you. Markdown, open a PR, done. Maybe now that it’s more accessible it will draw people in to write more :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for this!

The old Blogger site was definitely looking rather dated, and the editing interface more so. I’m happy we can do away with the old blogspot domain and just use https://blog.python.org from now on.

I second this. Fellow core team members, let’s spread the word about what we do!
