New submission from Sebastian Bassi <sba...@users.sourceforge.net>:
Following the trend initiated at https://bugs.python.org/issue34605, I want to point out that the term dictator has a negative connotation in Argentina and other countries where we suffered bloody dictatorship (30000 dead and missing persons, or "desaparecidos" as we call it). I understand that the former title BDFL may be funny for most developers, but the term "benevolent dictatorship" (or it Spanish equivalent "dictablanda") was used in Chile by the Pinochet's regime. This title doesn't reflect the democratic nature of the whole project. My suggestion is to take this into account when defining PEP-8010 and related documentation. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 325315 nosy: docs@python, sbassi priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Remove references to Benevolent Dictator type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34671> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
