No, if you claim that something by itself is good and has to be encouraged then you are obliged to prove or give arguments for that. If I say that I don't think that something in general but only in special case is a good thing that should be encouraged then I don't have to proof or give special arguments for that. If you say there is a man in the moon and I say there isn't then you have to proof you point, not me. > (I do think that code sharing is very different from > sharing of material goods).

I just happen to have different beliefs. Exactly. So whether this PEP encourages or discourages code sharing (and I don't think it does either) has nothing to do with the value of this PEP. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
