    Does any one know whether Claude Mythos was shared with the CPython team to check for issues before its impending release? How about with web framework teams like FastAPI, Flask, Pydantic, etc? Web server projects like nginx?

    Any recommendations on who to invite for a "self-hosted apps" topic on @TalkPython? They don't need to be the creator of a self hosted app necessarily, but Python-leaning and experienced in self-hosting web apps is the key. (You can invite yourself).
