Hi. I'm a newcomer to both Python and Django and just wanted to share my experience trying to solve a couple of problems.
When I started coding in Python a month ago, Django was sufficiently common in Google searches that it was my first port of call. I've found quite a few features which I love and a few which seem a little quirky. Unfortunately, every time I come across a problem, I seem to end up back at the ticket system which almost invariably results in lots of people saying "It's important to me" and a core developer saying (rather arbitrarily) "I don't see the need" and closing as wontfix. Of course, once the ticket has been closed, the only way to appeal is through the mailing lists. To myself as a newcomer, that just feels like a way of making further dissent less visible. I'm sure this isn't the case but that's certainly the feeling I got. The most recent example, which prompted this post is https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/901 but this is the 5th or 6th time I've ended up at similar tickets with similar outcomes. I think comment #20<https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/901#comment:20> demonstrates my point perfectly - While the point being made is valid, the tone and general attitude is poor to say the least. In any case, I shall be moving away from Django before I get too tied to it. I know this won't impact you in the slightest but I suspect other newcomers will be doing the same and not taking the time to post.
