2012 Language Summit Report (Python Insider)

The Python Insider site has a report from the 2012 Python Language Summit, held March 7 in Santa Clara, California. "One thing that seemed to have broad agreement was that shortening the standard library turnaround time would be a good thing in terms of new contributors. Few people are interested in writing new features that might not be released for over a year -- it's just not fun. Even with bug fixes, sometimes the duration can be seen as too long, to the point where users may end up just fixing our problems from within their own code if possible."
