Maintainership

pyjulia development and maintenance has been led by @tkf for many years. Release version 0.6.0 was initiated by @MilesCranmer under my supervision under the PyJulia Github organization. Thank you to @StefanKarpinski for providing the permissions to faclitate this.

@viralbshah could you add Miles and I as maintainers to the PyPI package? We plan on continuing maintenance.

Acknowledgements

Thank you to all who helped to contribute to this release including @dpinol, @MilesCranmer , @Jasha10 , and @droodman . Also thank you to all maintainers and contributors past and present. We build on the shoulder of giants.

Are there plans to borrow juliacall’s method to deal with statically linked Python executables in future versions?
