The Python Language Summit is an annual gathering for around 50 developers of various implementations of the Python language. The one-day event is made up of short presentations and discussion of topics that cut across the entire language ecosystem, which includes the "standard" CPython implementation, as well as variants like Jython, IronPython, PyPy, Pyjion, Pyston, and more. As with last year's summit, LWN sat in on the discussions.

This year's edition was once again co-chaired by Larry Hastings and Barry Warsaw and was held in conjunction with the North American PyCon in Portland, Oregon. The fez tradition continues, but this year Hastings brought more of the hats, so many presenters and attendees were wearing them throughout the day. Here are our reports from the summit:
