🔥 Top post Forget about supporting the PSF, too abstract. Pip installs from PyPI. It would be bad if `pip install` stopped working. Support the org that runs PyPI. Surprise, it's the PSF! Your company depends on #Python. You want it to keep working and keep being good. python.org/psf… ★ 65

For comparison, how much do they spend for tips on expensed meals? The PSF runs PyPI, where pip installs from. You depend on PyPI. Fund the PSF.

The handle is the domain nedbat.com. On Bluesky a domain handle proves the owner controls that website — so this is verifiably the real nedbat.com account, not an impersonator.
