Python Software Foundation Announces 5-Year Sponsorship Comm...

The Python Software Foundation (PSF) has announced a five-year sponsorship commitment from cloud services provider Fastly, aimed at bolstering the security and reliability of the Python Package Index (PyPI) and other PSF activities. This sponsorship was unveiled during PyCon US in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, highlighting PSF's continuous support for the global Python community. Fastly has been a long-term sponsor, notably providing CDN resources that enhance PyPI's efficiency, and its new commitment ensures sustained support for the community. In 2023, PSF's robust budget allowed for significant investments in initiatives like the Grants Program, and Fastly's contribution is part of its "Fast Forward" program for open-source projects. The collaboration ensures transparency in the use of sponsorship funds, underscoring the importance of these contributions in maintaining the infrastructure of Python-related services. As PyPI grows, it has also implemented enhanced security measures, including mandatory two-factor authentication starting January 2024, and has expanded its Trusted Publisher Support to streamline the release process for developers.
