Over the past year, Python has moved on from the benevolent dictator for
life (BDFL)
governance model since Guido van Rossum stepped
down from that role. In February, a new steering council was elected based on
the governance model that was adopted in
December. At PyCon 2019 in
Cleveland, Ohio, the five members of the steering council took the stage for a
keynote panel that was moderated by Python Software Foundation (PSF)
executive
director Ewa Jodlowska.
