Not only I can make private research project, that's what I have been doing for years. And many other people have been doing that. But the worst part of that is that many of them never actually went out to share the results and/or experience. It's really frustrating to think that you may be duplicating somebody's steps from long ago, only because they missed to post about, or were shy to do that because of the expected feedback. That's not right thing. And I can't see what can stop ideas exchange, short of banning Python ideas on the python-ideas mailing list. And in all fairness, what I posted isn't worse than other content posted here, like "let's stuff more stuff into builtin namespace" or "let's make list indexes silently wrap around behind your back". > Why not just make your own thing and find out what constness can do > for Python? That's exactly what I have been doing. And I like what I see and I would like to share with whoever may be interested, and get a second opinion. And I'm surprised that discussing such points are good topic for this list, I thoughts that's the background of why this list exists. If anything to learn form it, is that I posted too late. Because when you post something simple and low-effort, there's usually enough people wanting to contemplate and speculate what can be done about it. But when you post something well worked out and detailed, there's that surprised stare and question: "Why did you post that?". > ChrisA [] -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmis...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ 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/VUA7433NVC3F3GRCXJFSCPLV6YL3OBRZ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
