Python Special Interest Group
A SIG for people who are interested in Python on Fedora. This includes packaging and optimizing the various Python 2 and Python 3 runtimes (CPython, Jython), packaging libraries and applications, setting and improving standards for packaging them as RPMs and maintaining Python packages for Fedora.

Python packages awaiting review
- pypy - An alternate python interpreter written in a subset of python. The interpreter has better memory use than CPython and speed is closing in on Cpython. The JIT'd version is faster than CPython in many benchmarks. It is growing the ability to load CPython extension modules in the near future (work presently done on a branch).
- pynie - Python 3, on top of the Parrot virtual machine
Package requests
- Chandler PIM
- itools - A python library that includes several useful tools, such as an ODF anonymizer that can be used to sanitize confidential documents before attaching them tp bug reports
- Pyjamas web toolkit
- python-multiprocessing - multiprocessing backport useful for EL-5
- repoze.profile - WSGI profiling middleware
- tgscheduler - TurboGears scheduler

Python Features
Under development (Fedora 15?)
- debug versions of Python 2 and Python 3 in addition to the traditional optimized builds
- upgrade of the Python 3 stack to 3.2
- add PyPy to Fedora, possibly with a stack of extensions
Under development (Fedora 14)
Added in Fedora 13
- parallel-installable Python 3 stack
- gdb hooks to make it easier to debug Python and extension modules
- Systemtap probe points for tracing Python function calls
Added in Fedora 11
Added in Fedora 10
Python Runtimes
Within Fedora:
- python - The standard "CPython" implementation of Python 2
- python3 - As above, for Python 3
- jython - Python 2 implementation on top of the Java virtual machine
Awaiting review:
- pypy - An alternate python interpreter written in a subset of python
- pynie - Python 3, on top of the Parrot virtual machine
- pyjamas - Python-to-JavaScript compiler, implemented in Python
Awaiting packaging
- IronPython
