This is really what I’m trying to do but I’m apparently not getting my point across very well. I want us to pick the best tool for the job regardless of what language it’s written in. I just so happen to think that the best tool for the job in this case is Github. > Yes, I object strongly to the use of GitHub when there are > commercially supported services written in Python like BitBucket and > RhodeCode available if we want to go the external hosting route, and > other options like the RhodeCode derived Kallithea if we want to run a > self-hosted forge.

Agreed here too (even then, Github has been a PyCon sponsor for awhile and has even ran their own Python conference in the past). I think it’s kind of shitty to reject and demean someone who has supported the Python community through various means just because their primary language isn’t Python. --- Donald Stufft PGP: 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
