Our Sponsors

Google has long supported the Python language and its community, from core contributions to CPython to backing community programs like Google Summer of Code that bring new contributors into open source projects.

Many of the tools Python developers rely on day to day, from TensorFlow to gRPC to Google Cloud's Python client libraries, come out of Google's broader investment in developer tooling and open source.

We're grateful for Google's support of PyCon Africa 2026 as we grow the Python community across the continent.

Black Python Devs is a global community for Black software engineers and Python enthusiasts, built around mentorship, networking, and creating visible pathways into the Python ecosystem.

Through meetups, talks, and online spaces, the community connects developers across the diaspora, including a growing base of members here in Africa, and champions representation within Python events and open source projects.

We're glad to have Black Python Devs supporting PyCon Africa 2026 as we work together to grow a more inclusive Python community on the continent.

JetBrains builds intelligent developer tools used by software teams around the world, including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and a growing family of language-specific IDEs, alongside collaboration and productivity tools that help teams ship better software faster.

For Python developers, PyCharm has long been a go-to IDE, offering smart code completion, debugging, and testing support that makes working in Python more productive whether you're building a small script or a large-scale application.

JetBrains has a long history of supporting the Python community through free licenses for open source maintainers, students, and educators, and by sponsoring conferences and meetups across the globe. We're grateful to have them supporting PyCon Africa 2026 as we grow the Python community on the continent.

Posit builds open-source and professional tools for data science, including RStudio and Posit tools that support both R and Python workflows for analysis, visualisation, and reporting.

With products like Positron, Posit Connect, and Quarto, the company backs many of the data science tools that Python developers on the data and analytics side already rely on day to day.

We're thankful for Posit's support of PyCon Africa 2026, helping us bring more data science resources to our community.

The Django Software Foundation is the nonprofit organisation behind the Django web framework, responsible for stewarding the project, funding a Django Fellow to maintain the framework, and supporting the wider community through grants and sponsorships.

Django remains one of the most widely used Python web frameworks, and the Foundation's ongoing investment in the project and its community has helped Django developers around the world, including many here in Africa, build on a solid, well-supported foundation.

The Foundation is supporting PyCon Africa 2026 as both a Bronze and a Diversity sponsor, with the diversity contribution going directly towards making the conference reachable for attendees who would otherwise be unable to join us. We're grateful for their support as we grow the Python community across the continent.

O'Reilly has spent decades helping people learn the skills and ideas that shape the technology industry, first through its widely recognised technical books and now through an online learning platform offering live courses, books, videos, and interactive content covering everything from Python fundamentals to advanced data engineering.

Many Python developers got their start with an O'Reilly book on their desk, and that tradition of practical, in-depth technical learning continues today through the platform's expanding library of Python and data science content.

We're thankful for O'Reilly's in-kind support of PyCon Africa 2026, helping us equip attendees with resources to keep learning long after the conference ends.
