The Python Steering Council has decided to suspend a core Python developer for three months for alleged Code of Conduct violations.

Citing the recommendation of the Code of Conduct Working Group, Python developer Thomas Wouters revealed on behalf of the Steering Council that the unidentified developer was deemed to have repeatedly violated the Python Software Foundation (PSF) Code of Conduct.

The suspended developer is Tim Peters, who told The Register it was fine to name him but declined to comment – beyond observing that one of his objections to the governance process is the secrecy involved.

Tim mentioned several times that his concern was the community, and his comments all appear to foster inclusion. He seems to find a little more good in people than the steering committee allows.

    From Peters in the thread:

    Nobody talked about demographic markers because they didn’t matter to anyone.

    That reads to me that things were better before inclusive language was around.

    I think this also is a good response to a different point to made about being rational:

    It seems like we're doing the human thing and interpreting things differently.

    I read all of these comments in context on Discourse and came to my previous conclusions. The ban still seems out of place to me.
