(Being open source, you are welcome to fork it and do whatever you want with it.) You have to not just convince others that your proposal is useful, but that it is is **useful enough** to build it into the language. It is true that much of this thread has been dominated by some extremely negative, condescending replies. But you are not helping by biting the hands of those trying to help you. You have been told the processes that you have to follow to get this change accepted into Python. Snarling and biting at us is not going to change that. I don't know how things are like in your workplace, assuming you are a professional coder, but you cannot intimidate us by snarling. You will just get muted and your emails deleted. So chill out. Enhancement requests are not Default Accept. You can try putting an enhancement request on the bug tracker, but almost certainly you will be told to propose it here to see if there is consensus that it is useful enough. You can submit a PR on the repo, but likewise. You can ask on Python-Dev, but you will almost certainly be told you need to write a PEP, and to have that PEP even accepted for consideration you need to have at least one core developer volunteer to sponsor it. You could discuss it on Discuss, where at least you are likely to get feedback from a different set of people, but the eventual answer will be the same: this almost surely will need a PEP. Yes, this is all a damn nuisance, but it is what it is and you have to work with the system we have, not the system you want. And if you think this is problematic, you should try proposing a change to the Java or C languages. -- 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/C2UYX774WJSV76OTRTEBSMNWHSJQ5CMD/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
