Don't put too much weight on my screwups ;-) I was appalled to hear that the OP's contribution was still sitting unmerged, and was in a hurry to resolve that at a time I _had_ no significant time to give to it. Mariatta and Terry Reedy finished up what I left undone, so in the end it's all good :-) And there's a problem with the GitHub workflow docs that may be unique to me: we have helpful layers of automation, but they're shortening a git workflow I don't understand even without the automation. With the automation, I'm just doubly clueless. That's because I'm old. My capacity to give a rip about source control system quirks was apparently entirely used up when I spent several weeks mastering the intricacies of Mercurial. Try as I might, I just haven't been able to force myself to become competent with git. It's not that I disapprove of git! It's apparently more that we're each born with a finite capacity for being _able_ to learn Yet Another New Source Control System, and mine was used up on YANSCS #8 ;-) aging-isn't-for-the-optimistic-ly y;rs - tim _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/ACAJVCPHE2N5RNI4BNL2JK6INMJRPZ2N/
