Let's summarize. As it stands, this really is out of our direct control, as Deb mentions.
The actions we can do seems to be: 1. To point folks to alternative search engines that are effective in searching through Python documentation. 2. Direct feedback to the Python web site maintainers so that either they fix the problem or are at least aware that something is deficient. 3. Raise a call for volunteers. 4. Ignore. I think all these actions have been proposed or approached in this thread. * I think option #2 is ultimately the right long-term approach. Given that it's long term, I don't think the fix will come quickly, but as long as the right people are notified about the problem, I trust it will get fixed eventually. I believe https://www.python.org/dev/pydotorg/ should have links to the right people. * In my opinion, option #3 is probably more suited for a general Python forum, rather than on Python-Tutor. If we want to do that, I think python-list or docs-sig are the right forums to do this: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/docs * Option #1 appears to work effectively on the example given in the original post. A search for the term [python max] reaches relevant documentation on the major search engines. * I will ignore option #4. Other than those options, is there anything we're missing or anything to add to the conversation? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
