Your comments come across as a passive-aggressive chastisment of the core devs and the Python-Ideas community for being too quick to reject useful code: we missed out on something good, because you don't have the time or energy to deal with our negativity and knee-jerk rejection of everything good. That's the way your series of posts come across to me. Not every piece of useful code has to go into the std lib, and even if it should, it doesn't necessarily have to go into it from day 1. If you wanted to give back to the community, there are a number of options apart from "std lib or nothing": - you could have offered it to the moreitertools project; - you could have published it on PyPy; - you could have proposed it on Python-Ideas with an explicit statement that you didn't have the time or energy to get into a debate about including the function, "here's my implementation and an appropriate licence for you to use it: use it yourself, or if somebody else wants to champion putting it into the std lib, go right ahead, but I won't"; and possibly more. I'm not suggesting that you have any obligation to do any of these things, but you don't *have* to get into a long-winded, energy-sapping debate over inclusion unless you *really* care about having it added. If you care so little that you can't be bothered even to propose it, why do you care if it is rejected? -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
