All,
I must say It is still exciting to be at a point of getting an official
declaration on a topic from Guido. We thank you for your time and feedback.
It has been a good experience and hope to be able to contribute in some
other way in the future.

There shall be no standard syntax for monkey-patching.
Decorators are fine. I recommend putting a monkey-patching package on
PyPI and see if people use it.
Maybe eventually it can be in the stdlib but I really don't want to
encourage this idiom (even if it's sometimes useful). You should

Dear All,
Thank you for your feedback!
While we think the decorator solution is not as writable, readable or
discoverable as our
proposed syntax we understand the desire to discourage a potential
paradigm switch to `open classes’.
We recognise that in many cases refactoring the code to eliminate
I recommend naming all enums UPPER_CASE. They're constants (within a
namespace) and that's the rule for constants. It's helpful for the
reader of the code to realize what they are when passed around -- they
have a similar status to literal constants, you know they stand for a
unique value and not f

Agreed - it's not

Hey guys,
This is something that has been discussed before several times, whether in
Python mailing list and whether in stackoverflow, each providing different
answers.
I believe that we should add a naming convention in pep8 to solve this
issue.
Enums in Python are a unique creature - it's a cl
