Things you can get/do as a Python core developer I’ve been a Python core developer since January 27, 2017. Being a Python core developer comes with perks, privileges, and also responsibilities. Sometimes I can’t tell whether something is a perk, or a privilege, or a responsibility. I think depends on who you’re talking to, they might see it as an optional nice thing they could get/do, but the same thing might be seen as burden responsibility to others.
