e) It is a hard or complex problem that requires significant investment of time on a problem or approach that few people are interested in at the moment. f) The description is confusing or incomplete or the source code is long and difficult to read. I myself asked about how to write a library to efficiently do union and intersection of sets containing time intervals some time ago on this list and got little to no answers. It is a tricky problem. Since I was getting paid I got an O(n*n) solution working. People on this list on the other hand do not get paid and answer whatever strikes their fancy. Sometimes the question is hard or confusing and nobody is motivated enough to answer. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
