I’m officially a CPython Core Developer! 🐍 I’ve been using Python since 2006 — contributing back was a dream, and now it’s real. Huge thanks to everyone who supported me, and to @Arm for backing me from day one. It’s not the destination — it’s the journey. 💙 #Python #CPython

This is indeed a great achievement! You can now build, validate, and deploy *natively* on Arm across Linux, macOS, and Windows. And the best part? It’s completely free for public repositories. What are you waiting for? Start building your software for @Arm today!

AArm Software Developers@ArmSoftwareDev · Apr 22

#ICYMI: We’ve been working closely with @ThePSF to make native Python compilation and validation easier than ever on GitHub Runners. In fact, Python is the first project on GitHub to enable support for Windows on Arm runners. 👏 Stay tuned - more to come!
