The Python Software Foundation (PSF) has announced
the candidates
running for the Python packaging council that was approved by the Python steering council
in April.

This inaugural election fills all five seats on the PPC. The two candidates
receiving the highest number of votes shall be designated Cohort A with a two
year term, and the three candidates receiving the next highest number of votes
shall be designated Cohort B with a one year term.

In future elections, each cohort will be elected for a full two-year term in
alternating years, so that roughly half of the PPC turns over each cycle.

There are 17 candidates running for the five open seats. PSF voting-eligible
members must affirm
their intention to vote in this election by August 25. Voting begins on
September 1, and ends on September 15.
