Organizations Filed Purposes: The mission of the Python Software Foundation (PSF) is to promote, protect, and advance the open source Python programming language and to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers. The PSF: (1) Produces the core Python distribution including the Python language, its standard libraries and documentation, installers, source code, educational materials, and assorted tools and applications, (2) Establishes PSF licenses conform to the Open Source Definition and ensures the public to freely obtain, use, redistribute, and modify PSF intellectual property, (3) Protects the Python name, and the names, service marks and trademarks, (4) Raises funds to support PSF programs and services, (5) Publicizes, promotes the adoption of, and facilitates the ongoing development of Python-related technology, research, grants, conferences, and educational resources in the public interest.

The mission of the Python Software Foundation is 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.

PyCon US, hosted by the PSF, is organized by and for the Python community and is dedicated to providing an inclusive experience. PyCon US is the largest conference dedicated to promoting the Python language. PyCon US 2019 was held in Cleveland, OH and attracted over 3,500 attendees. The conference began with two days of Python tutorials and a Python Language Summit, followed by a three-day core conference, and finished with four days of programming sprints. This annual conference draws Python developers from beginner to expert levels and provides opportunities to learn and share significant advances in the Python Community and to meet and network with fellow developers. Education sessions are presented on multiple tracks to address topics of interest at all levels, from object-oriented programming to sophisticated web development and scientific computation. The PSF works to keep registration low in comparison to other technology conferences to make PyCon accessible to the widest group possible

The PSF awards grants to projects and events related to the development of Python, Python-related technology, educational programs, and resources. Events include worldwide conferences, workshops, education, and training programs related to the establishment and promotion of the free and open source programming language Python. Over 219 groups in 60 countries received grants from the PSF during 2019. The PSF encouraged diversity with grants to PyLadies and Django Girls workshops. The PSF increased support of worldwide Python Meetups by growing our network from 34 to 72 groups covering 17 countries and over 100,000 members. The PSF also funds an annual CPython Core Developer sprint.

The PSF provides fiscal sponsorship for Python-focused user groups and projects based in the United States. These groups hold regular education and networking meetings and/or present regional Python conferences. The PSF and each fiscal sponsoree work together to manage donor contributions wisely and maximize our ability to pursue the PSF's charitable mission. Sponsored groups in 2019 include: Boston Python, IndyPy, Pallets, PhillyPUG, PuPPy, PyBeach PyCascades, PyHawaii, PyLadies, PyMNtos, and Python San Diego. The PSF ended fiscal sponsorship for IndyPy, who moved to a different fiscal sponsorsee at the end of the year.
