I think #2 is going to be hard to safely write if you intend to send it to python-dev addressed to Anatoly (which I got from #1). The shorter the better is my tip. I'm available to review/bikeshed about this email if you intend to write it. Also, please only post this to one list, preferably -dev and not -ideas. #3 can be handled pretty swiftly since the appropriate people are all involved in this conversation. On #4, whatever you do, please don't get involved in some back-and-forth post war and don't go around Reddit trying to further justify anything. If people talk, and they will, let them. Please don't write this up in a PEP. We're getting flak from all directions for code of conduct things on the PyCon/PSF side of things, and that's along the lines of what this would be. I actually do have some ideas in that area, but that's for another list and another time. This should just be an email. _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
