Meet the Community

The main goal of this summit is for various stakeholders of Python’s C API to meet and discuss about the state of the API, existing challenges and ongoing work.

We are particularly looking for contributors and maintainers of:

  • Python implementations with a C API (e.g., CPython, PyPy, GraalPy, MicroPython)
  • Binding generators and alternative APIs (e.g., HPy, Cython, pybind11, PyO3, SWIG)
  • Libraries that use the C API heavily or in innovative ways
  • Applications that embed Python
  • Similar projects working in this area
