Hi folks, I’m working on some help documentation for python-ideas and first-time contributors, and I’d like to include a few examples of discussions that were productive and led to changes. I browsed through the archives and found a few positive and negative examples (below) but didn’t find one that led to a full PEP proposal (I know they’re rare!) I’d like to crowdsource this and get some good examples from y’all, if you don’t mind.
If people have any exemplar discussions in mind, could you drop them to me privately? Thanks in advance! (Threads from python-dev also welcome, but my intent is to show people new to the python-ideas list what they should expect.) best, —titus —— ** Brief thread about bad fit with Python philosophy: Specific equality method for hashable objects https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/thread/X2FXOYZ4GMA7CGEVQRZQDKSG2QNNHBQQ/ ** Brief thread about a simple fix that could be implemented without a PEP: Add a `dir_fd` parameter to `os.truncate`? https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/thread/RLW76DIEBUS5XGFA32223UUSFRXWQT5V/ ** Brief thread about not using undocumented Windows APIs in the stdlib: Add subprocess.Popen suspend() and resume() https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/thread/NNNCG4IKUB4XYC7ZXLY4BCUG533MQJQY/ ** A long discussion of small changes that adjusted PEPs but did not require a new one: PEP: Dict addition and subtraction https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/thread/KLDQAPOIJEANCKYCHQZ536WHQ45I6UVW/ ** Clarification of behavior leading to documentation fix, no PEP required: Fix documentation for __instancecheck__ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/thread/5BPDKWIBO3B4A7WPDGYR3YVCFQTFIBDX/ _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/KUH6UQVT3LKLHTNPP6RSZZ4J2YLSM33K/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
