Thanks for persevering! -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ Configuration is awesome but having good default helps you not having to tell everyone "configure that, the default is bad" (the "no send duplicate" settings maybe changed default or you misclicked on it). I'm just saying, be comprehensive to newcomer making mistakes, or give them a good man to read when they sign in :)
