Hi fellow Pythonistas! As some may have seen, the PSF announced that PyCon US 2021 <https://pycon.blogspot.com/2020/12/announcing-pycon-us-2021.html> will be a virtual experience. PyCon US generates over 65% of the PSF’s revenue. With PyCon 2020 and 2021 happening virtually, the PSF may lose over one million USD of expected revenue for those two years. Your support is more important now than ever! If you are able to, please consider donating! DONATE TODAY! <https://www.python.org/psf/donations/2020-q42020-drive/> If donating is not an option, help spread the word about the fundraiser!

Please consider donating to help us continue our work - https://www.python.org/psf/donations/2020-q42020-drive/ - The PSF allocated $30,000 to support CPython through a complete migration to GitHub in 2020 & in 2019 allocated $19,000 to assist CPython with Python 2 sunset communications.
