Python Special Interest Groups

The PSA maintains a number of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for focused collaborative efforts to develop, improve, or maintain specific Python resources. Each SIG has a charter, a coordinator, a mailing list, and a directory on the Python website. SIG membership is defined by subscription to the SIG's mailing list. Anyone can join a SIG, and participate in the development discussions via the SIG's mailing list. Below is the list of currently active Python SIGs, with links to their resources.

For more info, see: About Python SIGs; retired SIGs; creating a new SIG; SIG coordinator resources. See also a list of all the Mailman managed mailing lists run at this site, and a list of other mailing list resources for Python.

Note: the matrix-sig is retired per January 2000; Numerical Python lives on at SourceForge. See the ex-matrix-sig home page.
