Python has become central to AI systems, automation workflows and data processing, increasing demand for reliable integrations between Drupal and external developer ecosystems. In this contributed article, Drupal architect Vincenzo Gambino discusses the Python ports of Drupal API Client and Drupal JSON:API Params, explaining how cross-language tooling can help Drupal integrate more effectively with AI applications, headless architectures and modern development workflows.

We're thrilled and thankful to announce that Upsun has completed the transfer of the DDEV trademarks to the DDEV Foundation.

The DDEV Foundation now owns the DDEV name outright, and DDEV's name and identity belong to its community.

A Long Story With a Happy Ending

When we were on the verge of losing the right to use the name "DDEV" several years ago, Platform.sh (now Upsun) stepped in to acquire and hold the trademark on the project's behalf. That act of generosity kept the project alive under its own name. Since then, as documented in our December 2025 post, Upsun had been in the process of transferring that trademark to the DDEV Foundation as the foundation matured into a stable home for the project.

That transfer is now complete.

What This Means

The DDEV Foundation is the independent, community-governed home for the DDEV project. With the trademark in the foundation's hands, DDEV's governance and identity are fully decoupled from any corporate sponsor.

This is exactly the kind of long-term resilience that open-source projects need to thrive across decades, not just years.

You can learn more about the foundation's structure, board, finances, and mission at ddev.com/foundation.

Thank You, Upsun

Upsun/Platform.sh has done so much for this project over the years:

• Rescued the DDEV trademark when it was at risk
• Sponsored DDEV at a lead level for several years, funding core development
• Held and maintained the trademark until the foundation was ready to receive it
• Completed this transfer now, with no strings attached
• Continued sponsoring DDEV at $1,000/month level!

This is a real contribution to the open-source ecosystem, and we're grateful for it.

The Foundation Still Needs Your Support

Trademark ownership is a milestone, but it doesn't pay for development. The DDEV Foundation funds the developers who maintain the project you rely on every day - and we still have a funding gap.

We're excited that we've made it to 78% of our monthly sponsorship goal. Here's how you can help to get us over the top:

• GitHub Sponsors - Fast and flexible, any amount, personal or organizational
• Support contracts - Priority support while funding the project
• Custom invoicing - We work with your procurement process
• One-time contributions - Always welcome

Contact us to talk through what works for your organization, or join the conversation in Discord.

DDEV serves about 20,000 developers every week. Your sponsorship keeps it maintained, secure, and growing.

Last week I helped the folks at ezSystems debug some APC problems they were having. The problems ended up being a 64bit architecture problem (they have uber-fast Opterons) and the bug is now fixed in 2.0.3.

Today I received Python & XML from them (off my Amazon wishlist). Thanks guys!

On a side note, my wishlist seems borked. The list I get when I search on my email address or name is not the same one I can edit when I log into the site.

1st of April 2004 get's to it's end and I guess it's time, to summarize the recent April fools a bit. Not that I think anyone in the world believes in them, but some were quite funny:

1. Changes to case sensitivity in PHP.
Alan Knowles announced that PHP will change to the studlyCase API and therefor will get everything broken by changing established functions.

2. IBM takes over Zend.
Myself hacked a little article about IBM taking over Zend to make PHP a compete of Java.

3. The first PHP virus has been seen.
Wasn't there one last year, too?

4. PHP has been overtaken by Micro$oft.
Mhhh... a little bit unreliable, if they had been taken over by IBM this morning... Maybe one should first look, what others wrote...

5. And finally, PHP4 and 5 showed their real faces...
Take a look at a phpinfo() output!

I guess I missed some, so feel free to comment on this entry, if you found another!

Symantec have a report of the virus here. I've yet to see any of the PHP news sites picking up on it but, using a virtual host account, managed to deliberately expose some PHP scripts to it. From examining the infected scripts, what's disturbing is once infected, every tim...
