I don't disagree that he shouldn't have cross-posted. I was just pointing out that the language should be clarified. What's confusing is that the current language implies that one shouldn't send any PEP-related e-mails to any mailing list other than peps@. In particular, how can one discuss PEPs on python-dev or python-ideas without violating that language (e.g. this e-mail which is related to PEP 1)? It is probably just a matter of clarifying what "PEP-related" means. --Chris _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
