If you're coming from PyCon US I don't think I've ever not had those "general vibes [you] hear about in the rumor mill". When you're tossed in with a lot of the behind-the-scene players you inevitably hear all the negative stuff that never escapes from behind the curtain.
I guess drama might be a strong word. I always knew there were issues and disagreements, but I felt the community is always forging ahead in the same direction.
I think I'm giving off the wrong impression with my use of the word "drama". I don't think it is a totally negative word. Families are dramatic. Drama can be interesting! (And stressful lol)
Haha fair. I guess the way I think about it is that we live in a moment where, for the first time in all of human history, we can instantaneously collaborate, create, and chaotically fight with everyone on the planet. Of course crazy+stressful stuff will happen! But it's impressive just to consider!
In a parallel world, "Python Community" is an "American Drama" on "LetFlix". ... "Last episode in python community: Pep 741 has been delayed due to Guido concern, Will the unexpected alliance of Brett and Carol be enough to convince the Former BDFL?"
