The PSF hosts the annual PyCon US, which is the largest conference dedicated to promoting the Python language. PyCon 2018 was held in Cleveland, OH and attracted over 3,400 attendees. The conference begins with two days of Python tutorials and a Python Language Summit, followed by a three-day core conference, and finishing with four days of programming sprints. This conference draws Python developers from beginner to expert levels providing opportunities to learn and share significant advances in the Python Community and to meet and network with fellow developers. Education sessions are presented on multiple tracks to address topics of interest at all levels, from object-oriented programming to sophisticated web development and scientific computation. The PSF works to keep registration low in comparison to other technology conferences to make PyCon accessible to the widest group possible. 383539 332827 0 The PSF awards grants to projects and events related to the development of Python, Python-related technology, educational programs, and resources. Events include worldwide conferences, workshops, education, and training programs related to the establishment and promotion of the free and open source programming language Python. Over 236 groups in 61 countries received grants from the PSF including 26 regional Python conferences. The PSF encouraged diversity with grants to PyLadies and Django Girls workshops and supported hyper-local Python group meetups. The PSF also funds an annual CPython Core Developer sprint. 53369 30000 0 The PSF provides fiscal sponsorship for Python-focused user groups and projects based in the United States. These groups hold regular education and networking meetings and/or present regional Python conferences. The PSF and each fiscal sponsoree work together to manage donor contributions wisely and maximize our ability to pursue the PSF's charitable mission. To improve the benefits offered to each project, the PSF formalized the fiscal sponsorship program in the Fall of 2018. Sponsored groups in 2018 include: Boston Python, DesertPy, IndyPy, Pallets, PhillyPUG, PuPPy, PyArkansas, PyCascades, PyLadies, PyMNtos, and Python San Diego. The PSF ended fiscal sponsorship for three groups (DesertPy, PyCarolinas, and PyTexas) who were either inactive or had formed their own non-profit organization. 160697 0 0 The PSF funds programming development efforts to advance and maintain the core Python language, its associated libraries, and significant allied projects central to the Python community. These efforts include the Packaging Work Group, which improves and maintains the Python packaging ecosystem through fundraising and disbursement of raised funds. The Packaging Work Group focuses on efforts such as PyPI, pip, packaging.python.org, setuptools, and cross project efforts. 11464 0 0 The Python Software Foundation relies on volunteer efforts to achieve many of its goals. The PSF Board of Directors offers recognition of work which significantly improves the Foundation's fulfillment of its mission and benefits the broader Python community including contributions of code and efforts in community action. The intention of these awards is to demonstrate that service to the Python community does lead to recognition and reward, rather than to provide a direct incentive to contributors. Community Service Awards are a formal way for the PSF 172161 0 0 2358128 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 39 0 1 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 16 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 X Phyllis A Dobbs 8475673962 9450 SW Gemini Drive ECM 90772 Beaverton OR 97008 Naomi Ceder Chair 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Van Lindberg Vice Chair, General Counsel 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Kurt Kaiser Treasurer 30 0 X X 65000 0 0 Ewa Jodlowska Secretary, Director of Operations 40 0 X X 98032 0 0 Thomas Wouters Director, Vice Chair 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Jacqueline Kazil Director, Vice Chair Elect 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Kushal Das Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Paul Hildebrandt Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Eric Holscher Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Trey Hunner Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Katie McLaughlin Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Lorena Mesa Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Marlene Mhangami Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Christopher Neugebauer Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Anna Ossowski Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Paola Katherine Pacheco Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kenneth Reitz Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Triplett Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Betsy Waliszewski Assistant Secretary, Event Coordinator 40 0 X 84731 0 0 Guido van Rossum President 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ernest W Durbin III Director of Infrastructure, PyCon Chair 40 0 X X 116210 0 0 363973 0 0 1 0 0 0 Levy Premium Foodservice LP 601 Erieside Ave Cleveland OH 44114 Food & beverage-PyCon 2018 663732 1 0 23938 29697 0 0 1389125 0 1442760 PyCon Conference 813920 1671461 1671461 0 0 0 0 0 0 1671461 4361 0 0 4361 0 0 0 0 181 0 0 181 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5824 29697 23165 -17341 0 -17341 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3101422 1671461 0 -12799 X 41700 41700 142686 142686 266935 266935 0 0 313575 136388 131125 46062 0 0 0 0 106537 37865 62872 5800 0 0 0 0 46680 22115 19314 5251 33187 13330 15890 3967 80 0 80 0 86968 0 86968 0 4741 0 4741 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7084 0 5787 1297 9986 968 8941 77 10256 343 9696 217 155368 141956 13412 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 0 51870 33247 16441 2182 0 0 0 0 1404633 1402569 2064 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3554 672 2682 200 24 Other expenses: Bad debt 11000 0 11000 0 24 Other expenses: Bank and credit card fees 113202 105986 3954 3262 24 Other Expenses: Community Awards 11368 11368 0 0 24 Other Expenses: Licenses and Permits 714 0 714 0 0 0 0 0 2822126 2358128 395683 68315 X 1064198 1015606 1484796 2040076 0 0 318682 415912 0 0 0 0 667 571 0 0 421175 46720 73589 73589 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3289518 3518885 455898 27390 10155 2125 562547 948116 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1028600 977631 X 2049184 2189954 211734 351300 0 0 2260918 2541254 3289518 3518885 279296 14 1026 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 898138 1131578 1015701 1342014 1398881 5786312 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 898138 1131578 1015701 1342014 1398881 5786312 920628 4865684 396 263 699 840 4361 6559 0 0 0 0 0 0 413 574 186 162 181 1516 5794387 6669526 0.83972 0.7458 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Python Cookbook Royalties RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9000 9000 0 0 64589 64589 0 0 1 Central America and the Caribbean 0 0 Grantmaking Projects and events 4388 East Asia and the Pacific 0 0 Grantmaking Projects and events 27727 Europe (including Iceland and Greenland) 0 0 Grantmaking Projects and events 80259 North America (including Canada and Mexico, but not the United States) 0 0 Grantmaking Projects and events 8678 Russia and the newly independent States 0 0 Grantmaking Projects and events 8530 South America 0 0 Grantmaking Projects and events 46503 South Asia 0 0 Grantmaking Projects and events 2967 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grantmaking Projects and events 87883 0 0 266935 East Asia and the Pacific PyCon Australia 5903 Wire Transfer 0 N/A N/A East Asia and the Pacific PyCon Philippines 7620 Wire Transfer 0 N/A N/A Europe (including Iceland and Greenland) Python Italia 6549 Wire Transfer 0 N/A N/A Europe (including Iceland and Greenland) PyCon Spain 6137 Wire Transfer 0 N/A N/A Russia and the newly independent States PyCon Belarus 5530 Wire Transfer 0 N/A N/A South America Python Brazil Conference 16917 Wire Transfer 0 N/A N/A Sub-Saharan Africa Afro-Django Initiative 14429 Wire Transfer 0 N/A N/A 0 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Grant applicants apply to the Python Software Foundation (PSF) for approval to partially sponsor international conferences and workshops related to the establishment and promotion of the free and open source programming language Python, along with related applications and libraries.

Form 990, Part III, Line 2 When adding activities, discontinuing activities, and, annually, the Python Software Foundation's management reviews and analyzes the activity against the approved tax-exempt mission. If any activity is deemed not to fit into the tax-exempt mission, it is documented, discussed with the Board of Directors and disclosed on Form 990. For the tax year ended December 31, 2018, all activities fit into the Python Software Foundation's approved tax-exempt mission. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The Python Software Foundation offers five classes of members: Basic Members, Supporting Members, Managing Members, Contributing Members, and Fellows. Supporting Members, Managing Members, Contributing Members, and Fellows are eligible for voting privileges. Basic Members are individuals or entities who are part of the Python language community and who have decided to declare their support for Python and agree to the community Code of Conduct; there is no membership fee to become a Basic Member. Supporting Members make an annual donation to the PSF. Managing members dedicate at least five hours per month working to support the Python ecosystem in one of the PSF's working groups. Contributing members dedicate at least five hours per month working on projects that advance the mission of the PSF; the work relates to the creation or maintenance of open source software available to the public at no charge. Fellows are members nominated from the broader community and elevated by a vote of the members for extraordinary efforts and impact upon Python, the community, and the broader Python ecosystem. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a Supporting Members, Managing Members, Contributing Members, and Fellows are eligible for voting privileges. Voting members elect Fellows and the Board of Directors. Basic Members have no voting rights. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Form 990 and associated schedules are prepared by the PSF Accounting staff. Copies of the draft Form 990 (including required schedules) are distributed to the Board Chair, Co-Chair, Legal Counsel, and Executive Director in electronic form for review and approval. The PSF Accounting staff make updates as needed. Copies of the updated draft Form 990 are then distributed to the Board of Directors in electronic form for review and approval prior to electronic signature. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Each Director, Officer, and Key Employees must review and sign the conflict of interest policy and fill out a related questionnaire. The signed documents are kept by the Director of Operations. The highest standards of ethics apply for all PSF members, officers, and directors. Possible conflicts of interest are disclosed in writing to all decision-makers prior to any action. Directors, Officers, and Key Employees may recuse themselves from votes to avoid a conflict of interest; Board votes must pass by a majority of the disinterested directors. A full explanation of the conflict of interest policy can be found at the Python Software Foundation's website at https://www.python.org/psf/records/board/policies/conflict/. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Annually, the Board of Directors reviews the performance and compensation of the Director of Operations. The Board Chair leads the review conducted with the Executive Committee. No person with a conflict of interest is involved in the performance review and compensation recommendation. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 No changes have been made to the organizing or governing documents of the Python Software Foundation. Organizing and governing documents, as well as financial records, are available upon request and publicly available at python.org/psf/records. Form 990, Part IX, Line 16 The Python Software Foundation (PSF) does not lease or maintain office space or parking facilities for employees or contractors; contractors work from home and are not reimbursed for use of their home office. If PSF rents space for events, any parking facilities that may be included in the rental of the facility are for the use of the general public. Based on the facts and circumstances of the PSF's business model, there are no parking spaces provided to employees or contractors, there is no excess amount that may be considered a qualified transportation fringe benefit includable in compensation and wages of PSF employees, and the PSF is excepted from the §274(a) disallowance. Form 990, Part X, Line 2 The Python Software Foundation (PSF) aims to maintain cash reserves to offset the risk of lower-than-expected attendance at PyCon or fluctuations in individual and corporate giving patterns. The Python Software Foundation filed a timely extension on Form 8868, which was accepted by the Internal Revenue Service on April 9, 2019.
