I don't really mind having PEP discussions on both c.l.p (to get user feedback) and python-dev (for the purpose of reaching consensus). After all, python-dev is about developing Python, so PEP discussion is very much on topic. Note that a filter on "python-dev" in the List-ID field and "PEP" in the subject should pretty much filter out all PEP discussions from python-dev if you don't want to participate in them. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg CEO eGenix.com Software GmbH ______________________________________________________________________ Consulting & Company: http://www.egenix.com/ Python Software: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
