I took this to mean that they think any 'do not want' is peculiar to them as from a business. Perhaps I was wrong to project that on them.

What I meant would be untrue would be a claim that this project does not want contributions in particular from people in business organizations. A generic claim that pydev is unwelcoming or sometimes off-putting to newcomers, for instance, would be a different issue.
As someone who *has* given back, I can certainly understand why someone would feel that way. It often times *does* feel like CPython doesn’t want contributions.
Donald, your remark in itself sounds unnecessarily (and unproductively!) passive-aggressive. What have we done wrong to you, and what can we do to avoid making the same mistake in the future (to you, and to others)?
Hmm, I’m sorry if I came across that way. I didn’t mean to. I do think contributing directly to CPython is often times off-putting to people
Change 'often' to 'sometimes' and I would agree. -- Terry Jan Reedy _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
