Before telling people to use the ideas module, perhaps you ought to read the IAQs: https://aroberge.github.io/ideas/docs/html/#infrequently-asked-questions-and-comments These sorts of hacks may be great for experimentation, but if people are so conservative that they reject an actual language feature, `for...else`, in code reviews, do you really think they're going to use `ideas` in production? I fear that even if we could get the average developer to say "I know, let's use `ideas` to write a DSL", the project manager -- and the rest of the team -- will probably respond "Over my dead body". We're a long, long way from this sort of thing being considered acceptable in production code. -- Steven _______________________________________________ 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/IAGTYDRCUYPQNHVE7X6MDXD4EZL535VH/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
