[$] A mess in the Python community

The Python community has been roiled, to a certain extent, by an actiontaken bythe steering council (SC): the three-month suspensionof a unnamed-weirdly-Python core developer. Tim Peters is the developerin question, as he has acknowledged,though it could easily be deduced from the SC message. Peters has beeninvolved in theproject from its early days and, among many other things, is the author ofPEP20 ("The Zen ofPython"). The suspension was due to violations of the project's code ofconduct that stem from the discussion around a somewhat controversial setof proposed changes to the bylaws for the Python Software Foundation(PSF) back in mid-June.
