Feature highlights
Software developers building applications which require compatibility with future releases of Python will find two significant enhancements in Fedora 13's Python stack.
For more information, see the Fedora 13 talking points and Features/EasierPythonDebugging and Features/Python3F13, plus Features/SystemtapStaticProbes#Python_2.

The folks behind the feature
I envision this section being an opportunity to make something that is scary and complicated a bit more personal, but introducing a few people who have interesting things to say about this particular feature, and with whom we'll be conducting interviews, etc.
- Dave Malcolm (user page, blog) -- Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat and the primary maintainer of Python for both Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
- Luke Macken (user page, blog) -- Software Engineer at Red Hat and member of Fedora's release engineering and infrastructure groups.
Both Dave and Luke are members of Fedora's Python Special Interest Group.
Tell us about yourself a bit. Who are you? Where are you from? How did you get started working on Fedora, on Free Software, with Python, on Python?
What have you been working on in relation to these Python features?
How did you start working on these Python features?
What do you do when you're not hacking?
