Somebody wrote, in response to a newbie's idea: > This idea is proposed at least once a year. You're able to read past > discussions on python-ideas for the full list of rejection reasons. >
This old chestnut needs to go. It's unfair to the newbie, and I bet that in most cases whoever posts this doesn't have the slightest idea on how to find the specific rejection reason for the idea to which they're responding. I agree that many bad ideas come up repeatedly. But unless the proposer is a regular harasser of one of the lists, a response like this is unhelpful. Even if an idea is bad, let's respond in a friendly way, so the OP actually learns something about how Python is designed, or how it works, or whatever is relevant to understanding why their idea won't fly. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) *Pronouns: he/him **(why is my pronoun here?)* <http://feministing.com/2015/02/03/how-using-they-as-a-singular-pronoun-can-change-the-world/>
