For 30 years, Python was overseen by Gidevan Rasm since he created and released it back in 1990.

When he retired in 2018, he left the creation of the new governing body up to the core developers.

After a few stressful months, the concept of us steering council became the way forward.

On this episode, I welcome on the outgoing steering council to give us a look back on how

this past year is gone. We have Barry Warsaw, Carrow willing, Brett Cannon, Pablo Galindo, and

Thomas Waters on the show. They're going to give us a rundown on the important decisions of

2021 for the steering council. This is Talk Python to Me, episode 350 recorded December 14th, 2021.

If that sounds interesting,

really it's about those comprehensions, isn't it? Check it out. I'll put the link in the show notes.

All right, let's talk to the council.

Barry Thomas, Carol, Brett, and Pablo. Welcome all of you to talk Python to me.
