We expect the official Python Software Foundation's Code of Conduct to be followed by any contributors to our projects.
Like every community, the python one is full of members from around the the globe with different ideas, skills, experiences, personalities and those shall be respected because it is what makes every community driven, motivated, special and successful allowing the growth to happen.
When interacting/working with different members from the community, the code of conduct helps those interactions better, positive sustainable and respectul.
We share the same values as the great communities out there, for example, Encode.
Members of the Python community are open, considerate, and respectful. Behaviours that reinforce these values contribute to a positive environment, and include:
- Being open. Members of the community are open to collaboration, whether it's on PEPs, patches, problems, or otherwise.
- Focusing on what is best for the community. We're respectful of the processes set forth in the community, and we work within them.
- Acknowledging time and effort. We're respectful of the volunteer efforts that permeate the Python community. We're thoughtful when addressing the efforts of others, keeping in mind that often times the labor was completed simply for the good of the community.
- Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences. We're receptive to constructive comments and criticism, as the experiences and skill sets of other members contribute to the whole of our efforts.
- Showing empathy towards other community members. We're attentive in our communications, whether in person or online, and we're tactful when approaching differing views.
- Being considerate. Members of the community are considerate of their peers -- other Python users.
- Being respectful. We're respectful of others, their positions, their skills, their commitments, and their efforts.
- Gracefully accepting constructive criticism. When we disagree, we are courteous in raising our issues.
- Using welcoming and inclusive language. We're accepting of all who wish to take part in our activities, fostering an environment where anyone can participate and everyone can make a difference.
Every member of our community has the right to have their identity respected. The Python community is dedicated to providing a positive experience for everyone, regardless of age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, or religion (or lack thereof), education, or socio-economic status.

We take Code of Conduct violations seriously, and will act to ensure our spaces are welcoming, inclusive, and professional environments to communicate in.
If you need to raise a Code of Conduct report, you may do so privately by email to mail@tiagoasilva.com.
Reports will be treated confidentially.
Alternately you may make a report to the Python Software Foundation.
The code of conduct was based on exactly the same as Encode.
We share the same principles and values as them and this is a reference to the same Code of Conduct.
We thank Encode for the elaborate and thorough Code of Conduct as this reflects the same values as Dymmond.
