As Sriram, said I do have a (somewhat extreme) sense of sarcastic and dry humour. I am also a PSF member from 2010 and also President of PSSI. I was going through the PyLadies initiative and I found what were a few interesting (intriguing) things about it. 1. Most FOSS/open source projects/initiatives have a .org (organization) TLD. Pyladies is a .com website. I find it curious. Maybe the OP of this thread who is an active member of PyLadies could explain it - just to educate all of us here and me in particlar. My "isnt_that_odd" function of ladies.py was specifically written to bring this point. Happy to see it hit the target. 2. Mission - It would be nice to educate us all in this list about the goals of a separate organization for "ladies coding" as apart from the general PSF umbrella. I am not misogynistic in anyway, but in general I don't personally agree with "woman coding" as a separate problem as opposed to "people coding". Btw, I am not a shady character though I stand indicted on being politically incorrect and I plead guilty as charged. The "project" was started (in a light way) to bring this into attention. Now that the conversation has started, let me bring shutters on it without releasing a 0.2. Anyway the unit tests were failing :) > > -- Ram > > > On Sat, Sep 7, 2013 at 9:49 PM, svaksha <svak...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> https://github.com/pythonhacker/ladies.py, comes off as trying >> too hard to be cute. #EpicFail. >> >> svaksha ॥ स्वक्ष _______________________________________________ >> BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org >> https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers >> > > > - -- Regards, - --Anand - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Software Architect/Consultant anandpil...@letterboxes.org Please note my updated email address <anandpil...@letterboxes.org>.
