This critical role would not be possible without funding from the Alpha-Omega project. Massive thank-you to Alpha-Omega for investing in the security of the Python ecosystem!
Next week is PyCon US 2024, one of my favorite times of year.
If you'll also be in Pittsburgh, reach out to me on Signal (sethmlarson.99
)
and we'll meet up sometime during the conference.
Here's where you'll find me during the week:

Secure snek🐍🛡️
- Talk on "State of Supply Chain Security" with Michael Winser of Alpha-Omega.
- Open space on Vulnerability Disclosure and Management with Madison Oliver of GitHub Security.
- Blogger for the Python Language Summit.
- Spreading security knowledge along with Mike Fiedler, the PyPI Safety and Security Engineer.
- Working in-person with Python core developers during sprints.
I'll also be bringing along some exclusive"secure snek" stickers, so if you see me at the conference ask about those while supplies last!
If you're interested in security, I recommend considering these other tutorials and talks:
- Tutorial: PyO3 101: Writing Python modules in Rust by Cheuk Ting Ho
- Tutorial: Fundamentals of API security in Python by Jose Haro Peralta
- Talk: Making Python safer than ever by Cheuk Ting Ho
- Talk: Building a Rusty path validation library for PyCA Cryptography by William Woodruff
- Talk: How Python harnesses Rust through PyO3 by David Hewitt
That's all for this week! 👋 If you're interested in more you can read last week's report.
