If you think nonoptimized tail-recursion calls and dozens of http libraries in standard libraries are the only things that hurt Python, you're not seeing the big picture. Python is not a programming language anymore. Everytime we're harsh to a n00b in this mailing list, BangPypers is branded as un-welcoming to new adopters. The same way, if we fail to discuss or at the very least acknowledge what just happened we tag ourselves in a certain other way. Remember we organize Pycons too. The more we dismiss these, the less we appear unprepared for such things. Take a stand, invite more female friends and tell them we care about them. PSF supports it, and takes pride in how many female developers we have in our community. And we should too. -jeff _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
