Code of conduct

Our community is built on mutual respect, kindness, and a shared passion for data science. Be respectful and remember that there’s a human on the other side of the screen.

While we don’t have our own separate code of conduct, we follow the Python Software Foundation’s Code of Conduct. Please read the “Inappropriate Behavior” section to understand what we consider unacceptable.

In addition to the behaviors outlined in the Python Software Foundation’s code, here are specific examples of inappropriate behavior in our community:

  • Judging the question or the person asking the question (“this is a stupid question and everyone who can read docs knows the answer”)
  • Soliciting any kind of personal information (such as marital status, sexual orientation, phone number, address, income, etc)
  • Asking for personal or professional details in DM (such as location, current job, or skills)
  • Asking people to share their profiles (such as LinkedIn or Upwork)
  • Offering collaboration in DM without prior public communication
  • Continuing one-on-one communication after requests to cease
