tl;dr: nsf requested that python software foundation affirms that they “do not, and will not during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote DEI, or discriminatory equity ideology in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws”.

the psf has withdrawn the proposal instead.

I checked their donation page, and like they actually give warnings on how to get around some paypal shit down the page.

Important: Make sure "Purchase Protection" is turned OFF before completing your donation—this prevents PayPal from creating an account for you

It does however require either paypal or a credit card. So good I had not gotten rid of the latter yet.
