It appears that PyCon staff did handle the incident, and did so sensibly and discretely:

It's not clear whether that happened before or after the photo was posted.

Edit: the code of conduct also says "Public shaming can be counter-productive to building a strong community. PyCon does not condone nor participate in such actions out of respect."

She took the picture before she got the pycon people involved. You can tell because of the times on her tweets. The picture was tweeted at 10:32, and she started calling for the pycon staff at 10:34.

that doesn't really make any difference, she still took the pictures and publicly shamed them and even now after everything leaves the photo up.

I'm not saying it does, just pointing out the order. I agree, no matter which way it happened, it was bad.
