Core Python developerThe Register
•83% Informative
The Python Steering Council has decided to suspend a core Python developer for three months for alleged Code of Conduct violations.
The developer is Tim Peters , who told The Register it was fine to name him but declined to comment.
The cited objections include the following: Making a significant number of posts ( 47 out of 177 ) to a discussion of a change to the bylaws, "which created an atmosphere of fear, uncertainty, and doubt" - "Defending 'reverse racism' and 'reverse sexism', concepts not backed by empirical evidence, which could be seen as deliberate intimidation".
The issue is that Python Fellows are awarded membership for life and the only mechanism to remove them if they've been found to have violated the CoC is seeking a vote from the full Python Community. This is undesirable, because it would "subject members of the community including people directly impacted by that violator's behavior to undue distress." Peters said he supported the proposal in principle but argued for a more stringent test than a simple majority vote. The Python Software Foundation and the Steering Council did not immediately respond to requests for comment..
