"Python in 2025 is in a delightfully refreshing place: the GIL's days are numbered, packaging is getting sharper tools, and the type checkers are multiplying like gremlins snacking after midnight. On this episode, we have an amazing panel to give us a range of perspectives on what matter in 2025 in Python. We have Barry Warsaw, Brett Cannon, Gregory Kapfhammer, Jodie Burchell, Reuven Lerner, and Thomas Wouters on to give us their thoughts."
"Gregory Kapfhammer is an Associate Professor of Computer and Information Science who conducts research in software engineering and software testing. He has built numerous Python tools, with current research focusing on flaky test cases in Python projects. Gregory also hosts the Software Engineering Radio podcast sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, where he has interviewed many members of the Python community."
Python in 2025 shows major shifts: the GIL is being phased out, packaging ecosystems gain sharper tools, and type checkers are rapidly proliferating alongside AI/LLM influence. Gregory Kapfhammer is an Associate Professor of Computer and Information Science focusing on software engineering, testing, and flaky test cases; he has built numerous Python tools and hosts the Software Engineering Radio podcast. Thomas Wouters is a longtime Python core developer with Google and Meta experience and has served on the PSF Board and Steering Council, receiving the PSF Distinguished Service Award in 2025. Jodie Burchell is a Data Scientist and Developer Advocate at JetBrains with NLP and LLM experience.
