- sponsor members are elected after paying a sponsorship fee
- Fellows are elected on merit
- emeritus Fellows are no longer active in the PSF
- contributing / managing members support the PSF's mission by actively engaging in bringing Python forward
- supporting members support the PSF by paying a yearly membership fee
