Python exists, and is free, thanks to the contributed efforts of many people. The PSA supports those efforts by helping to coordinate them. The PSA operates web, ftp, and email services, organizes Python conferences, and engages in other activities that benefit the Python user community. In order to continue, the PSA needs membership of people who value python.
