Overview
The Python Software Foundation supports the development and adoption of Python. Its work includes protecting the language's intellectual property, supporting community activity, and encouraging an international community of programmers. The foundation is distinct from any individual Python package or commercial Python service.
Language stewardship
The foundation's mission includes advancing Python and protecting the resources that support its use. Its public materials explain the relationship between organizational stewardship and a language developed through a wider contributor community.
Community support
Foundation activities support participation in the Python ecosystem. Readers can follow the official organization pages to understand membership, governance, and ways to contribute, rather than assuming that installing Python requires joining the foundation.
