The Python Steering Council is a group responsible for guiding the development of the Python programming language. Formed in 2018, it consists of five members who are elected by the Python community. Their main role is to make decisions about the language's future, including its features and governance. The council aims to ensure that Python remains a robust and user-friendly language. They facilitate discussions, manage proposals, and oversee the overall direction of the project. This structure helps maintain a balance between innovation and stability, allowing Python to grow while meeting the needs of its diverse user base.
