I think that we need a forum somewhere between comp.lang.python and pythondev. Let's call it python-lang. By virtue of being buried on the "sigs" page, python-lang would be mostly only accessible to those who have more than a cursory interest in Python. Furthermore, you would have to go through a simple administration procedure to join, as you do with any mailman list. Appropriate topics of python-lang would be new ideas about language features. Participants would be expected and encouraged to use archives and FAQs to avoid repetitive topics. Particular verboten would be "ritual topics": indentation, case sensitivity, integer division, language comparisions, etc. These discussions would be redirected loudly and firmly to comp.lang.python. Python-dev would remain invitation only but it would focus on the day to day mechanics of getting new versions of Python out the door. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for himself "Hardly anything more unwelcome can befall a scientific writer than having the foundations of his edifice shaken after the work is finished. I have been placed in this position by a letter from Mr. Bertrand Russell..." - Frege, Appendix of Basic Laws of Arithmetic (of Russell's Paradox)
