Abstract
The world of open source is undergoing numerous seismic changes, and Python is no exception. This keynote will focus on security: we'll extrapolate (and speculate) on the task of securing Python for the next decade of usage by open source maintainers, corporations, tinkerers, vibe coders, and everyone in between. We'll also cover how we expect attacker behaviors to shift, and how those shifts will require us to discard traditional assumptions as defenders.
