Perhaps it's just that people don't think that the examples are compelling. Or they are burning out and finding it hard to care. Personally, I found your examples underwhelming because they're mostly repetitions of the same pattern. I'd find it more interesting if there were a larger variety of cases, not merely a larger number, and I'd find it *really* interesting if you found a couple of examples of bugs caused by the common idioms. E.g. the slicing and "branch of length" idioms are tricky to get right if the index is negative. Find a couple of bugs in publicly visible code because people forgot to take negative indices into account, and you might find that more people will sit up and take notice. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/L5YNCP3HQTEIG4RGJEDWTIBK4GLQ4KJK/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
