[Python-Dev] Re: [Python-ideas] Re: Amend PEP-8 to require clear, understandable comments instead of Strunk & White Standard English comments

I believe I'm not the only one with this question but, how is Strunk & White connected with white supremacy? Scanning through this thread, its wikipedia page and doing quick google search, I wasn't able to find something tangible. Best Regards, Jim Fasarakis Hilliard

[Python-Dev] Re: The Anti-PEP

A natural question that arises is who will be responsible for authoring it? I'd guess anyone with a strong enough opinion (and there's no shortage of those) could be the one who does it. Separating bikeshedding from refusals/rejections definitely has merit though, especially for the person making

Re: [Python-Dev] Translated Python documentation

I've recently been translating the Tutorial in Greek as a side thing that also helps me catch some doc bugs :-). So it's an obvious +1 from me. I really like this idea and would like to see it come to fruition. I think some issues need to be addressed first, though: Where should these translated
