Sure -- but all in one thread > The respondents should have known better. But we like to kibitz-- that's why (many of us) are on this list. Anyway, all (most anyway) of the points brought up are : A) not going to change B) have been justified / explained in multiple blog posts, wiki pages, and what have you. So perhaps the best response would be: "These are all fairly core Python design decisions -- do some googling to find out why." But it made me think that it would be good to have a single place that addresses these kinds of thing to point people to. There was the old "python warts" page, but this would be a "python features page" Maybe I'll start that if I find the roundtoits. Or, if it already exists -- someone please point me to it. -CHB _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
