Recently, the Python Steering Council (SC) abruptly announced a decision that plunged the related community into confusion. The decision stated that an unnamed core developer of Python would be suspended for three months.

In light of the mystery, Tim Peters came forward to admit he was the developer mentioned, confirming suspicions among many community members. Peters has been involved since the early days of Python, contributing to many important projects and being the author of PEP 20 (The Zen of Python). His suspension stems from a violation of the project’s code of conduct, linked to a series of controversial discussions in mid-June regarding changes to the Python Software Foundation (PSF) bylaws.
